Dude I like your videos very very educational..well explained…I’m going to mirror your truck and turn my 2021 tundra “trail edition” and looking just like yours 😂👍🙏🏻 …keep these videos up brother
Thanks man, I appreciate that!!...yea I try to make my videos as easy to follow as possible!...sometimes I think I talk too much, or so my wife says...hahaha...thanks for watching!
Good video. You should add some mylar liner to your garage ceiling for better insulation and it cleans up the look of the exposed insulation. Your 2020 TP shirt is rad!
Thank you!!...yea that ceiling has always driven me nuts, but I never got around to finishing the garage...and now we’re moving, we just bought a property about an hour away...the new garage is even bigger, can’t wait to get to work on it!...my wife actually made my shirt, she’s the crafty/clever one in this marriage! 🤣
thank you!!...unfortunately that's one thing I'm not sure of, I don't know how the install would be on a lowered Tundra, I'm sorry!...thanks for watching!
What "fuse spot" did you actually use to place your add-a-fuse in, what area in the truck does the spot covers? Example, airbags, full pump etc? In refering to numerous sites, they say NOT to use a spot that could casue a malfuction due to placing an adding add-a-fuse. They said to pick a fuse spot that is on when your ignition is running, but NOT a spot that is vital to your truck's fictionality.
My OCD couldn’t take it either, I actually already have it all cleaned up!...hahaha...that video will be posted in the near future, I’ve had a few people ask me to show what I did...thanks for watching!
Hahaha…yea I don’t know what took me so long, I still have to get that video out on the channel, I’ve made some more changes with the wiring since then…thanks for watching!
Question: When connecting the "T" from the main air supply as shown with the BLACK air hose to the RED ones, shouldn't the two RED hoses that are going to each bag be the same length? Meaning shouldn't the "T" be placed as close to the middle as possible to both air bags? Wouldn't an uneven line to both air bags crerat an uneven air flow? Or becuse there is already air in the lines it wouldn't made a difference? Have you ever put air with your new set up and measured the lift on both sides from the finders to the ground? if so, did the system raise the bags evenly, keeping in mind that the "T" was not centered? Thanks and great vedio by the way you did good job spelling it all out.
Thanks Mike, I appreciate it!…yea no issues with that at all…I see what you’re saying but the bags inflate evenly, never had a problem with one over/under inflating due to length of air line…I actually have measured “lift” after inflating bags, I did it with the boat hooked up…the height increase was identical on both sides…hope that helps!
@@NitroZ18Fishing yeah. I think I will. On my old tundra I had the two separate setup and went under the truck but my new truck is a f250 and I don’t love any of the spots underneath. But under my retrax will work good
At the end of your video I see in the bed of your truck you have a remote that as "O" and "C" on it. Can you tell me what that is for? Is it an bed lighting unit?
Hey Ryan!… That’s actually the remote for my electric tonneau cover, it’s my bed cover that opens and closes by remote… my bed lighting switch is in the cab of the truck…Thanks for checking out the video!
I wouldn’t say it does much for the ride, I keep my bags at 7 psi when not towing and it feels just like stock...and you can’t necessarily haul more, they just help keep the truck level when towing/hauling...it eliminates the “squat” on the back end with heavy loads, hope that helps!
You only use them to raise the truck after loading it down with whatever you’re trailering or hauling...for example, if the load weighs it down and makes it squat 2” in the rear, you would fill bags to whatever psi it takes to raise it back up 2”...hope that helps!
@@NitroZ18Fishing Thanks for the reply. I was wondering if there are some that give you and active suspension that can be raised and lowered like on a Jeep that I've seen.
honestly you probably could use these to raise the truck a little bit without towing/hauling anything...if you inflate them with no load on the back it def raises it...just not sure if it's recommended...haha...you would def have to watch and make sure you don't overextend your suspension as well
Good video! I have a 2018 Sierra, and want to mount this under the hood, drivers side where an auxiliary battery could go. What do you think of that? I don't want it in the cab, underneath, or in the bed.
Thank you, I appreciate it!… Yeah honestly as long as you have enough room and it’s not getting destroyed by the elements you should be completely fine… Let me know how you make out!
Hi, I have the same retractable electric cover. I’m going to mount inside the bed like you…thx for the idea… what do you think about tapping into retractable cover for power?
Hey!…no prob, thanks for watching…I’m not sure I would do that, only because it would most likely blow fuse…especially if your compressor kicks on while you’re also moving cover…hope that helps, thanks for watching!
If the compressor is so quiet, why not install it inside the cab? I still haven't found good info on the inside route, but tow a boat and want it kept completely dry, without taking up bed cargo space (I use the full load area often.)
You can absolutely mount it in the cab, but you will most likely hear it when it’s active… Placing it where I have it you can’t hear it at all but I understand what you’re saying about using the bed… Works perfectly for me but if you need every inch of the bed it might not be a good spot for ya… It’s relatively easy to access the inside of the cab, there are grommets that you can go through underneath the truck
Thank you!… I’m not sure about purchasing the whole package, I bought the two units separately at two different places… Only because each one was on sale on different websites so I saved a few dollars by doing this… Thanks for watching!
I have a 2010 lifted tundra.. would these airbags be a good solution for the added 800 pounds that I carry daily? I have a decked system along with a rooftop tent , your standard overlanding components. This looks like a better solution to my bed being a bit too heavy. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.. and a great video you posted, thank you 👍
Thanks man, I appreciate that!… while these aren’t the only option for your application, they would definitely help and do the job!… I had no complaints with them whatsoever, I would highly recommend them!
Thanks David!!...and that’s an excellent question, I’ve never even thought about it...lol...I’ve had an electric cover for the last 7 years now and never had any problems with them opening or closing, so it never even crossed my mind...but now ya have me wondering so I may call them and find out...if I do I’ll keep ya posted!
Honestly not much to show, I guess I could have shown the truck lifting up and airing down, but yes sir, it works perfectly!...have the same compressor on my 2022 TRD Pro as well, love it!...thanks for watching!
Hey Cody!…yea I see exactly what you’re talking about, which is really weird…haha…I ordered the 2445 and that’s even what my receipt says, but you’re correct when lookin at the kits online…the TR2445 looks exactly like the kit I used…not sure why my receipt says 2445…sorry for the confusion, hope that helps!
@@NitroZ18FishingI was just looking at it again and noticed the model description was saying that it compares to the 2445, so I looked it up on Google and turns out that it is a different brand that is exactly the same as the firestone that they sell. Very weird. Either way I will be ordering the firestone because if the brand and get the compressor and I think I am going to install the compressor in the bed of my truck as you did since I have a diamondback cover and seem to be the safest place for it to be protected from the elements. Thanks for the reply. love the videos, has helped me on a couple of the same upgrades
Yea that is strange for sure!…and I definitely recommend installing the compressor in the bed, mine has worked flawlessly and still looks new since it’s protected from the elements…thanks for supporting the channel man!…glad the videos are helping out, let me know if ya need anything!
Hey Andres!...great question, it very rarely kicks on, but if for some reason the bags do slightly drop it’ll kick on and keep em where they should be...it’s kinda like your tires...if it gets cold, your pressure can drop...you should check for leaks every so often though, just to make sure all is well...thanks for watching!
It’s gotta just be the angle, they’re strips just like I have under the truck as well...the ones in the bed are actually from a company called “Outback Baits”, I usually use Bluewater LED’s but decided to try this other company for bed of truck...so maybe that’s why they look a little different but they’re just the normal strips
Great video! Just got the 2nd generation Wireless EZ compressor and also have a Tundra (2019) with a cover. A couple questions, I don't have a bedrug but do have sprayed in liner, I'm thinking of using self-tapping screws to mount. Any suggestions? Secondly, I tow a trailer with a 3500-watt generator I keep in the bed to recharge my tailer batteries, do you think there should be any safety concerns/ issues with having or carrying a container of fuel in the bed of the truck and having the compressor in the same space? Thanks for the detailed install, will make mine a lot easier this weekend!
Thanks man, I appreciate that!!...yea I would think you should be fine with self tappers...should secure it with no problem...and same with the generator, I don’t think there’s any concerns at all...I would keep the fuel away from them if possible but shouldn’t cause any issues...let me know if I can help ya with anything and thanks for watching!
It’s actually one I got off Amazon for like $20...haha...I’ve had it for over 2 years now, can’t beat it for the price!...I can’t remember the brand, I’d have to go back into my order history and try to find it
no prob!...if I can find it in my order history I'll def let you know, I bought it awhile ago!...and nice, you can't beat a Platinum Tundra in my opinion!
great video, but man, the engineering really lacks when it comes to weather protection...that setup is COMPLETELY exposed to all elements if mounted outside of the cab. I would think that the best place for that would be under the hood somewhere IF it could fit.
Totally agree!…that’s why I mounted it up under the bed cover, it’s 💯 outta elements and works perfectly!…no way I was mounting it up underneath, just doesn’t make too much sense to me…haha…thanks for watching!
Hey man thanks for the video... I'll use when I install my bags...!!! under the hood I notice the bundle of wires. in another U-Tube video a guy uses a S-pod to titty up the wires, check him out th-cam.com/video/2K04cKTQ3bI/w-d-xo.html by now U may have upgraded but I thought I'd just pass it on. Happy Rollin'...!!!
Hey Lance!…yes sir, I actually have that all cleaned up, I have the video made I just have to edit it…thanks for letting me know though, I appreciate it!

Thanks man, I appreciate that!!...yea I try to make my videos as easy to follow as possible!...sometimes I think I talk too much, or so my wife says...hahaha...thanks for watching!
Good video. You should add some mylar liner to your garage ceiling for better insulation and it cleans up the look of the exposed insulation.
Your 2020 TP shirt is rad!
Thank you!!...yea that ceiling has always driven me nuts, but I never got around to finishing the garage...and now we’re moving, we just bought a property about an hour away...the new garage is even bigger, can’t wait to get to work on it!...my wife actually made my shirt, she’s the crafty/clever one in this marriage! 🤣
Thanks, video was very helpful, just completed my install and saved a ton of $$$ by not paying someone else
No prob, thanks for watching Joe!...glad it helped you out!
Great video. Very thorough abs informative!💯
My Tundra is lowered. I’m trying to find a video that addresses rear airbag installation for a lowered vehicle. This video was informative. Thanks.
thank you!!...unfortunately that's one thing I'm not sure of, I don't know how the install would be on a lowered Tundra, I'm sorry!...thanks for watching!
Amazing video my guy. Thanks for doing this.
Thanks man, appreciate it!
What "fuse spot" did you actually use to place your add-a-fuse in, what area in the truck does the spot covers? Example, airbags, full pump etc? In refering to numerous sites, they say NOT to use a spot that could casue a malfuction due to placing an adding add-a-fuse.

Had to leave comment genus spot to mount that . super super nice set up man 👏💪
that is one goodlooking truck man.!
Thank you, I appreciate it!!
Oh man, you need a Busbar or fuse block. All those wires would drive me nuts. Lol. Either way, I love all the accessories.

How is the compressor holding up in the truck bed?
Thing is like new, completely protected!…definitely recommend going this route, thanks for watching!
@@NitroZ18Fishing yeah. I think I will. On my old tundra I had the two separate setup and went under the truck but my new truck is a f250 and I don’t love any of the spots underneath. But under my retrax will work good
I saved a few hundred $$$’s and just bought an M12 Milwaukee inflator. Good job, but my installation was super easy!
Do you just hook it up when you need to inflate the bags?
At the end of your video I see in the bed of your truck you have a remote that as "O" and "C" on it. Can you tell me what that is for? Is it an bed lighting unit?
Hey Ryan!… That’s actually the remote for my electric tonneau cover, it’s my bed cover that opens and closes by remote… my bed lighting switch is in the cab of the truck…Thanks for checking out the video!
Does it seem to help with bed bounce or the stiff ride of a TRD? Can you haul more if so how much more is safe?
I wouldn’t say it does much for the ride, I keep my bags at 7 psi when not towing and it feels just like stock...and you can’t necessarily haul more, they just help keep the truck level when towing/hauling...it eliminates the “squat” on the back end with heavy loads, hope that helps!
With the Readylift they say some of the SST kits won't work with air bags for leveling while towing. Did your kit say that ?
Thanks
I didn't see that stated anywhere on mine, and thankfully the bags/compressor work perfectly when I'm towing the boat!...thanks for watching!
Didn't see any demonstration of how the airbags raise and lower the truck.
You only use them to raise the truck after loading it down with whatever you’re trailering or hauling...for example, if the load weighs it down and makes it squat 2” in the rear, you would fill bags to whatever psi it takes to raise it back up 2”...hope that helps!

Man you need to install a blue sea fuse panel. Clean all that wiring up easy, and make it really simple to add accessories or check fuses.
Yes sir, I actually already have!…my ocd was kicking in hardcore, I have to edit that video, I’ve had it done for awhile now! 🤣
@@NitroZ18Fishing I’d like to see how you did it. I installed one on my four wheeler one time
