air compressor

I just bought a set of FIRESTONE RIDE-RITE air bags and I want to set up my truck up with an automatic or hight control valve. likr the big trucks use (set it and forget)
So my question is, are there any CTD'S set up like the big trucks I want the compressor to mount to the eng. or use the 12 volt.

any help would be welcomed.

Haulin in Dixie used the factory compressor when he put a medium duty ISB in his truck, but it caused all kinds of nightmares before he got it working. The 12 volt setup is easier and cheaper.

Try looking at kilby enterprises I think is the name of it. He has a bracket/complete kit for a york compressor that mounts on the engine. I ended up going the 12v route using an extremair compressor from outback extreme.
