I am thinking of of running air lift bags

I like to over complicate things, LOL. I am needing to add bags to compensate for my new trailer tongue weight. I have onboard air and like the idea of being able to adjust on the fly. Anybody know of a system that has an option for this?

We are planning a 12K mile trip in the spring. We plan to set up basecamp (park the trailer) and wheel for a few days, then pack up and on to the next place. Having onboard control of the bags would be nice....

Airlift offers several on-board options: https://www.airliftcompany.com/products/compressor-systems/.

The Airlift systems in my 3 Jeeps aren't overcomplicated, I carry one of these for adjustment on the road :): https://www.amazon.com/Schwinn-SW75345-4PK-Aluminum-Frame/dp/B0018CX1E6

I just got back from my first trip running air lift bags on my JKU pulling a Scout Trailer. At 35psi they made the ride much nicer and kept the Jeep level. I went rock crawling the week before. At 5psi, I couldn't even tell that they were there and could still fully stuff the rear tires.

One work of caution, double check and order the correct bags. I have a 3.5" Rubicon Express Sport lift on my jeep so I emailed them asking what bag was recommended. They requested the ID of the spring and the height from inside top to inside bottom where the bag would ride. I measured it out and got 4" x 9.5". They recommended 60910, well when I looked up the installation instructions, I found a chart of spring sizes and corresponding bags. The 60910 is recommended for a 8" to 9" height range. The 60911 is made for 9" to 10".
