Re: How much air

IMO, if you arent playing with it & you just have it set at ride height you could prolly get away 2 or 3 gallons

You just need enough to fill your bags back up to ride height after airing it out, if you ever air it out that is

But I would also like to see what other people have to say about this

Re: How much air

I had 12 the first time around, this time I will have 10. All depends on how many compressors you are going to run and what type/size for recovery time. I had a friend who only had 10 gallons and 4 little Thomas compressors and the recovery time on it was ridiculously slow. I have EDC (York) and the recovery is 30 seconds or less with a 12 gallon tank.
