I hate those electric compressors, slow , noisy, if you have room on the front of the engine look at doing a york compressor, quiet , fast, and cheapif you can find one used in good shape. Do the tank first with a solenoid valve. That way you can add air or let it out simply. I only air mine up once a week. about 120lbs. used a air tank off a freightliner mounted to the drivers side --outside of frame. cheap and easy........Kieth Then add the compressor later as the budget permits.

I cant add a york, I have an LS with AC so there isnt any room.

I do like the idea of the tank though.

Thank Keith!
