What RideTech compressor in particular did you buy? All are good choices, so I am sure you made a good decision. What size tank are you running?

Not sure on tank but most likely a 3 gal.i am trying to get everything before I install it.waiting on air over leaf kit,c notch and flip are done.

The VIAIR 450C will be faster, as well as the 444C and 400C. That compressor is built by Thomas, and is a great compressor that will last you many years like the VIAIR. The Thomas is just a little slower than the VIAIR's. Not to say it is bad at all.

You made a great choice, and if you ever want more speed, you can add another Thomas or VIAIR compressor. Filling a 3 gallon tank will be Ok with the Thomas. If going with air on all 4 corners, then I would look at a 5 gallon, and a second compressors. But start with what you have already, and go from there.

Thanks for the help ,glad to know I am on the right course and that was my plan ,to add more if needed
.it is mostly for comfort not for play.thank you.

The Thomas comps will fill a 3gal tank from zero to 150psi in 6mins. The Viair's would prob be faster. I recall there was a difference between the Thomas & Viair in the 'duty cycle' when they ran.

I searched everywhere I could and found almost no info on it . I returned everything I ordered from ridetech and gonna go with viair dual setup.
