Yeah, I just drilled a hole through the receiver frame.Finally got around to installing the airbags this weekend.
The install can be done without removing the springs but it sure was a pain to squeeze the airbag in between the spring, the more you flatten it the wider it makes it.
Overall straight forward install, I ran the airlines through the frame from the top of the spring to the back near the bumper as you can see photos. I used 3/8" wire loom around the airlines in the locations that it makes contact with an edge to protect it.
I haven't mounted the valve yet and wanted to see how everyone else was doing it. I like the idea through the license plate screws.
@Ox3721 did you drill through the hitch mount for the valve or is that an existing hole?
I took some measurements and at 5psi I see about 1/4" or so of lift in the rear from stock. At 30psi with no load it raised the rear 1".

I could be wrong, but I don't think any of these guys got the compressor. I think they are all just manually inflating the bags.Where did you guys mount the compressor? I am looking at the AirLift WirelessOne with EZ mount. Under the truck? Under the hood? TIA!!!
