Wireless air bag controls - reliable?
I'm considering getting wireless controls for my onboard air for my air suspension and overloads just to help unclutter my dash. My only question is: how reliable are they? Are they one of those thi...

Ok thanks for the real-world reports. Part of me doesn't want to keep adding more electronic points of potential failure (I feel bad enough that my Dodge isn't the simple & reliable old 12 valve) but that Air Lift wireless setup sure looks nice and would clean things off my dash.
And I think less air hoses running all over the place has a potential reliability advantage too.
When I first had air bags, I had only the valve stems to air up the bags and used a tire pressure gauge.
Then I started hauling my own domestic water every other day or so. I got the dash-mount controls and had to run tubing from the compressor mounted on the frame up to the dash. Kind of a pain to do.
I had the compressor and manifold fail twice over the years and Air Lift offered me a deal on the wireless system for my troubles.
I've had it ever since and very happy with it. No tubing to run to the dash!
I adjust my air bag pressure all the time when carrying the TC. And like DWeikert says, the 5 PSI minimum is maintained automagically by the system to keep the air bags from getting damaged.
The wireless system will go into my new Tundra.
