    They only need 25-35 psi, so any compressor should handle it. They do make a wireless on-board compressor system, but you know how those things love to leak.

    That kit looks like it's made for your exact issue.

    I wonder if these air springs take off road abuse?

    I agree, deflate the air bags for the trails and pump them up for the ride home. Definitely your best option since you can leave them in the coils springs and use them whenever necessary. It's not worth getting a OBA system for the airbags, i'm currently building a system and it's a PITA. You're more than welcome to use my air system to fill the bags at the end of the week. Only worry would be the airbags not holding up to trail abuse.

    Or I can also throw in a hand at the stoop if you want to change out springs.

    I'm glad I could help ya out. So how is the ride changed with no extra weight? Is this something we could all use for daily driving with the stock bump helpers removed?
