I guess I'm right there with you....manual fill for me too. I have an onboard compressor, a Viair that I bought to run the air horns and maybe there would be a way to tie that one in to automatically control the air bags....I've never really checked into it. I'm sure the fact that it is mounted in my toolbox would make it more difficult, so maybe not even worth the extra work.....if there is a way to do it using the existing compressor.

Onboard filling
I installed a small compressor under my hood with a gauge and pushbutton control under dash. Total setup was under $100. I hookup and drive and the wife pushes the button intermittently until I like the feel of the ride. You can also dump air from the bags that way but you get a rubber tire smell from the inside of airbag in the cab for a bit. I usually run the needle on the gauge at the 11 o'clock position if driving alone, not sure of the pressure just run air until it rides nice. Easy to adjust for each trailer I pull. I also plumbed in a quick connect fitting for an air hose to fill a tire if needed.

I ordered bags and compressor for my F250 last week, bags came early this week and may be a weekend project. Compressor shows "back-ordered, no ETA" I called Air Lift and was informed they have an electronic components delivery problem and don't know when they will be available. . Looks like I will go the manual route for a while

I've never had an onboard automatic setup for either truck that I've had air bags on.....it would be nice, but since I already have an onboard Viair compressor in the toolbox of my truck, it's just a matter of popping the lid, hooking up a 25' air hose with the quick connect fittings and throwing a little air in the bags. Granted, it would be more difficult/impossible to change on the fly, but I'm OK with it so far.

Bags are installed and the job wasn’t too bad. Ran the valves out the bottom holes in the license plate, like my previous truck, and will T into the lines when/if the compressor arrives. Checked pressure this morning and it was the same as I put in last night, so no leaks.

We went camping this past week, Sun through Wed and I towed the 394M with the bags in place. When the trailer was down on the truck, I ran the psi up to 60 lbs and that brought the truck back up to unhitched height. My pin weight, from a recent CAT scale weigh-in was a little over 3600 lbs. I will likely weigh everything again when we get loaded for our trip out west later this year. I'm thinking that I'll likely be in the ~4000 lb pin range then.
