my copmressors will only run about 5 min to regain the air. I use a 12 gallon because I roll low, so every time I turn I need to air up. STMike you are right 12 gallons of reserve is not needed to just lift the truck but when you lift every couple of blocks a 5 gallon tank just dont cut it for me. Know what I mean?  

the argument would be that if you can regain air in 5 minutes on a 12 gallon, you'd be able to regain air in much less time on less than 12 gallons. I thought more air would be good cuz it would "last longer", but I haven't noticed that at all. And if you really want to "play", I think you'd have to be on a bottle in order to keep up

how many and what kind of compressors do you have tuckn22's? I forget  

I run viair 480s on everthing. I have 2 480s and 2 5 gallon tanks on the 53 chevy and I think I like that a little better than the 12 gallon on the s-10. IDK what size tank I am going to use on the ranger yet??? I have 2 480s for it but I think I am going to run a single 8 gallon tank, but not sure  

oh okay that's cool...is the ranger yours or someone's that you're working on?  

Well...haha its kinda funny. It is my buddies, he never drove it and it had been sitting for about a year. He works 3rd shift so one night I went to his house while he was at work and stole it. lol when he got home he found a note in his garage floor that I left him saying I had it. The next day he came to find out why I had it and saw that the frame had been tossed in the scrap steel trailer lol...it was in a million pieces haha  He had a blank stare of disbelief on his face. I looked at him and simply said "your welcome" hahahahaha
