Hi

I tow a 3.2 tonne boat with my lx470. The suspension seems to be handling it all really well but I wanted to install Firestone airbags to help the ahc.

I understand I need to buy the Firestone 4124 bags but I don't know which on board compressor to buy.

Can someone please advise which compressor to buy?
Where they installed their compressor and gauge?

Thank you
 
Unless you need a compressor for other reasons, skip it. The airbags can easily be inflated with a good bicycle pump to their max psi of 35. Just route the airlines and valve to a convenient access location. You'll want to deflate when not towing so easy access will help that too. Is that 6400 lb boat a dry weight or loaded weight? Either way, big load!
 
The boat and trailer comes in at 7100lb with moderate fuel and gear.

The car will be towing on/off on the weekends so I was after the convenience of adjusting psi as easy as possible.

Can anyone suggest which compressor to go with?

Thanks
