CLNSHVNnDRAGGN Posted October 28, 2012 Report Posted October 28, 2012 Go with aluminum. 3 or 5 gal is plenty. People will say go bigger but it's harder on your compressor(s) and the smaller it is the faster it will recover. True, It will refill faster, but if you dont have enough volume then you wont be ale to lift your vehicle more than one or so before it refills. 5 gallon or a 7 gallon for a vehicle of that size. Aluminum tanks are nicer because they are lighter, but are a bit more money. The Street Metal 7 Gallon Steel Air tanks are on sale right now for 69.95, Normally 99.95 if your looking for that. Steel tanks, even with a decent moisture trap, still have a tendency to rust so I advise to spend a little extra and get aluminum. It will last longer, you don't have to worry about rust particles getting in your valves, and don't have to worry about it blowing up on you a few years down the road. ETA: It's an Explorer, you don't need that much volume to lift it like a fullsize would. 5 gal will be plenty. www.facebook.com/BILLatDivineCreationsPhoto He was taunting me. He's all like "come at me bro!" So I'm like "I'm coming at you bro!" And he's like "hey, fuck you" *chomp*. Then I killed it. I win. ^^^ you have truly taken being a lazy fuck to a new level tonight, an MRE. WOW

I'm not trying to bounce up and down all day. just raise it up and drive and lower it when i get there. like i said previosly i just want my car to be safe and reliable. if 5 gallons will lift me up and get me going thats what i want. Thanks for all the help.
fox_racin4 Posted October 28, 2012 Report Posted October 28, 2012 i dont bounce up and down just dont want to wait to air tanks back up to get full lift lol 1998 gmc extd cab 12 crossfire C710s 4 SAZ-4500s 3 Singer 400A altsbuncha mids/highs Team Asshole
Justice66 Posted October 28, 2012 Author Report Posted October 28, 2012 Roger that. you have 16 gals and only get 1 maybe 2 full lifts. that sounds crazy to me.

Justice66 Posted October 28, 2012 Author Report Posted October 28, 2012 I just found a 5gal 8 port alum for $90 shipped. Think i'm gonna jump on it unless anyone knows of a better deal.
StreetMetalBen Posted October 28, 2012 Report Posted October 28, 2012 I just found a 5gal 8 port alum for $90 shipped. Think i'm gonna jump on it unless anyone knows of a better deal. Thats a really good price! I would jump on it quick!
Justice66 Posted November 10, 2012 Author Report Posted November 10, 2012 i havn't purchased a tank yet. @Steelmetalben you said there was a way to hook up all my valves and 2 comps t a 5 port tank can you please explain. Also how can i hook a a air pressure sensor switch and a gauge to the same port. a tee fitting or something maybe?
StreetMetalBen Posted November 22, 2012 Report Posted November 22, 2012 Yup! Can you post up a pix of exactly which tank you have? I have a diagram for me 7 galls, but I can draw you one up if i know what tank and pumps you have.
