What size air tank?

[gopokes]

I am running paddle valves and was getting ready to start looking for my compressor and tank. Would a 3 gallon tank be big enough or should I get a 5gallon? Also, what compressors would you guys suggest?

Thanks,
Donnie

Depends on how much you intend to 'play' w/the ride height.

If you drive it @ the same height all the time & don't drop it for show purposes, a 3-gal tank/single compressor could do the job. If your intent is to air-out @ events, you'll want more capacity as a single 3-gal will run out of air before raising the vehicle. Multiple tanks (2x 3 gal) or a single larger tank (5-6 gal capacity) will want multiple compressors to increase their lifespan.

Right on, I would like to say that I won't be "playing" too much, but I have a feeling that won't be true. So I guess I will start looking for dual compressors now too. Thanks for your help!

One 5 gallon is good, but if space is an issue two 3 gallons work well too.

Anybody know where I could get a good deal on a decent compressor and tank? I didn't see anything specific to that in the marketplace link.
