For those of you who don't want to spend a few hundred bucks on a remote system located in your cab to fill your Air Lifts, here's a suggestion.
I have an onboard compressor already for my train horn, but the air chuck was located under the right running board - not terribly convenient. I also wanted the valve stems for the bags in close proximity to each other. Here's what I came up with:

The valve stems are just to the left and right of the license plate. The air chuck is now located near the elctrical connection. This allows me to easily inflate both bags using a coiled air hose (which can also be used to inflate the tires on the truck). This also has the advantage of allowing me to easily acces the valve stem on my Flex Air pinbox. To keep gunk out of the air chuck, I just put a couple of finger cots on it (those little rubber finger bandage protectors). Keeps dirt & moisture out.
By the way, I blocked out the license plate to protect my super secret agent cover.
