Re: Airbaggers. Where are you putting your tanks?

is this a stepside issue? I hadn't really taken any measurements yet but had planned on running a 5 gallon tank on the outside of the framerails under the bed just in front of the rear wheels on my SWB.

Re: Airbaggers. Where are you putting your tanks?

another thing to consider is air compressors, how many? what size? if you go with a big tank(s) and only have 1 or 2 small compressors it will kill the performance and the life of the compressors.

just and FYI i had 4 viair 480s with a 12gallon.

i planned on running two viar 400s or 420s whatever the number is, and two 5 gallon tanks. Im going to connect the two tanks.. BUTTT before i do anything im just running the rears first, then adding the fronts later....

So basically a 420ish compressor and a 5 gallon tank.... Then later down the road another 420ish compressor and another 5 gallon tank... Whats your thoughts on that????
