Does anyone know where you can buy an airbag controller from, that you don't need to run the air lines into the cab, AND you don't have to buy the compressor as well, I would go hard wired or wireless? I have searched on the net but it seems with wireless you have to get the compressor and the other kind has airlines. I just installed Pacbrake air bags and a Pacbrake exhaust brake but just couldn't find anywhere to mount the controller with the airlines.

 

This site below has lots of stuff for controlling airbags, airlift kits, horns, etc. So they might have what you are looking for.

AirLift's Wireless AIR controller kit can be pieced out as a "spare parts kit", so you can get just the controller and manifold. I replaced the in cab air lines from my Firestone kit and spent around $220 for the parts from my AirLift dealer. Install is a breeze because all you're doing is connecting the bag lines to the manifold, your air source to the manifold, and power to the manifold. The wireless controller runs on either two AA or AAA batteries.

You will need an electric valve to go between your air source and the manifold because it will act like the check valve/compressor, as this is setup to run as a tankless kit. Without the valve the bags will continue filling with air, and in my case that would be around 160 pounds of pressure and would have caused the bags to explode. The wireless manifold controls the electric valve just like it would the compressor, and also acts as a check valve to keep air in the bags.

Part numbers from AirLift are 72001 for the wireless controller, and 73003 for the wireless manifold.

Hope this helps!

Thank you both for your replies, I'm leaving with the RV for two weeks, so I can order the parts and have them sitting here for when I get back. Until then I'll just have to manually fill the bags. Thanks again.
