Re: Installing Air Systems

My spare is a 285/75/16 and the 2.5 gallon tank has almost exactly enough space behind the bumper to fit without impeding the spare being dropped. If I were to get a different compressor, I'd spend a little extra to get the 100% duty cycle. I got the 33% duty cycle VIAIR 400C which works great, but with 285's airing back up from 15 lbs, it takes a while. The tank definitely helps though.

I have Dual Viair 450C compressors ready to be installed, and a pair of 2.5 gallon tanks on the way. Air horns are already installed but not hooked up. Evenually, I am going to bag the rear end to help with heavy loads.
Where did you run your extention hoses to and where did you mount the intakes?
