Hey, everybody. How's it going Today, we're gonna be going over and showing you how to install the Air Lift WirelessOne air compressor system here on our 2021 Ford F-150. So what is a air compressor system and why do we need one Well, for starters, an air compressor system, it's gonna be used to supplement our air helper springs. Whether we have Firestone or Air Lift, this system is compatible with both of those brands. So when we have our air helper springs, we're gonna be using those and we're towing or hauling heavy loads, so we have additional support. But usually, that requires access to an external air compressor in order to fill the bags.

So if we find ourselves to be towing frequently or we're towing different loads where we're constantly adjusting the psi, we don't always wanna have to be dependent on that external air compressor. Therefore, adding one onboard to the truck here that you can adjust on the fly is gonna make your towing experience that much easier when you have the air helper springs. The WirelessAir isn't the only compressor system on the market. There's actually quite a few different options. However, this one here is definitely our favorite here at etrailer especially among the installers, and the reason being that it's wireless.

Now, the benefits that a wireless air compressor system has over a wired one is mainly that we're not running air lines in and out of the cab to a manual gauge. Now, most of the time, those manual gauges require drilling into our dash, room that we just simply don't have as well here on these newer trucks. It's also gonna introduce a bunch of extra lines into the system, which can create other potential for leaks. So having the wireless system here cuts down on all that. There's no drilling into the dash, there's no trying to find the space to mount the manual gauges, and there's no extra lines we have to worry about leaks.

So the wireless route is definitely the one to go, in my opinion. We talked about how easy this is to adjust. Now, let's go ahead and show you that. The first thing we're gonna need to do is we're gonna need to download Air Lift's WirelessAir app. Now, this is a free app that's available on both Apple and Google Play Stores.

So no matter which phone you have, you're gonna be able to download this app. And again, it is free so it's not gonna cost us any money. But once we have the app on our phone, we can go ahead and show you how to compare or, sorry, how we can pair the system to our phones so we can operate it. When we first get into the app, we need to go ahead and pair our specific compressor here to this phone. In order to do that, it's very easy. First of all, we need to do this within a couple minutes of inserting the fuse in-line for our compressor. So once we have that fuse, we need to jump over to our app here. You're gonna go to settings. You're gonna go to devices. And then down here, we should see the option for our compressor. I believe ours was labeled 0322, it was a series of numbers and you should only really have one popping up so it should be fairly obvious. We will go ahead and click that to pair it. And then once it is paired, it'll bring up this screen here. So the first thing we're gonna do here is we're actually going to adjust the pressure that it allows us to fill the airbags to, because the preset is gonna be a max of 35 psi. Now, most airbags you're gonna be using though, is having a much larger psi. Therefore, we need to go ahead and adjust the settings accordingly. So we're gonna go to settings. Settings again, and then we're gonna go down to airbag type. And the factory setting is the ride control, which has a max of 35 psi. Most of you guys are gonna be using these with the LoadLifter bags. Therefore, we need to select that option and it'll allow us to put in more air into our airbags. So once we have that, here's gonna be the main screen. Now, it's very easy to use this, guys. We have our main up and down here. So this is actually gonna control both bags. So if we hit up on this, it's gonna adjust the psi evenly in each bag. Go ahead and show you that now. You should hear the compressor kick on as well. So I can hear the compressor kicking on. Let's just go ahead and put 20 psi in there. So that compressor is gonna run until both of our bags have
