Air Compressor Kit with Tank for Air Accessories, Filling Tires, and Air Bags
Question:
I would like to have on board air compressor with tank to be able to fill tires and run air tools if need be, but to also fill the air bags on my truck. How would I plum to the airbags and have a switch inside my truck to add or remove air? This has a constant supply of 145psi, but I would need to control how much air goes into the bags.

Expert Reply:
If you needed a kit that would run your air accessories, inflate tires, and keep constant pressure in air bags you'd need two separate compressor and tank setups. Or you could use the Air Compressor - 145 psi # F2549 that you mentioned for both but there would be some pressure drop from the bags when you use the air accessories although it would be pretty small.
Most likely this wouldn't be an issue as you'd be stopped/parked when you went to use the air which at that point the pressure in the bags wouldn't be quite as needed.
