Will this type of ride management setup work for me?

Hey,

I recently received my bag and bracket kit from Jason at AVS, and plan on running a 5 gallon tank, 4 paddle valves with two dual needle gauges, and a single VIAIR 325 compressor. I will not be playing with the ride height a whole bunch, just air up when to driving, then dump when parked for the day. Will this setup be sufficient for my needs? I'm not too worried about how fast the tank refills as I won't be continuously playing with switches haha.

Cheers

I would use a 3 gallon tank if all you want is just lift it to drive it.

Would that compressor work alright for me? Or will I need something bigger?

That compressor will be Ok and do the job. I do recommend the 3 gallon tank as well, because it will build pressure faster, which you will need to lift the front all the way up.

If I can make a suggestion, I would go with the 400C. It is a great overall compressor and one of the fastest compressors VIAIR makes. For the price difference, I think you will be happier with the 400C, and if you decide to go to a 5 gallon tank.... it will better handle that.

I am an authorized dealer for VIAIR, so let me know, and I will take care of you.

Travis
