Just get the gauge that comes with the manual switch.
It is the same one that comes when you buy the entire kit.
Run an air line from the tank to the gauges then an airline to the bags.
In the 08-10's the gauge and switch will fit to the left of the cluster in the dash if you take the gauge and the switch out of the mounting plate. I dont know about the new dash but I am sure it would.

Airlift has an auto level setup. You could do it much cheaper though with a couple of mechanical valves like the 90054007 haldex.

Simple..
Buy a 1/4" electric air solenoid.
You'll go from your bags to the solenoid to the air tank. The bags will be tied together. From the other bag go to a gauge then to a manual dump valve or another solenoid.
Wire the solenoid(s) up to switches and enjoy.
I had mine done like this on my 03 and it worked perfectly for years.

I just have the one with a single needle and valve.
I am sure you can find them cheaper, but here is one

ahh thanks
i use a Airlift wireless with 6 foot of airline and it's powered with 2 feet of wiring tied to the trailer harness bags are independent like you would ideally want them vs tied together
I didn't want to mess with the cab and dash if I could avoid it
downside was 3oo bucks but it has been flawless for years

White gauge was air gauge and to the right was the manual dump. One of the switches was to control fill up.

If you have a manual dump and elctric fill valves why not make it all manual or all electric?
The price you pay for a manual setup you can get a better compressor and a storage tank to fill tires and such.
If you are going to run a line into the cab, use manual switches. If you dont want too run everything electrical.
