My friend gave me a 2 port air tank can I use this on a air ride set-up or should I just go with my original plan and buy an air tank with more ports.

how big is the tank? i dont think you can ever have too much air. Run them both?

FRENCHBLUE72 · 11-03-2008, 03:05 PM

Looks to be a 5 gallon.. I guess I could always use it for storage..

bdydrp97s10 · 11-03-2008, 03:12 PM

sure you can use it.. it all depends on how fast you want your system to be.. are you just running valves for the front and back.. or do you want front, back and side to side

d10s69c10 · 11-03-2008, 03:17 PM

well ill put it this way its a free tank. so BONUS

But bluntly imo i would not build you air ride set up around a 30 dollar tank.

another idea- idf your going to get into some more serious fabrication on your project..

why dont you just box in the frame and make part of the frame your airtank.. just weld in some threaded bungs for the valves..

its alot cleaner in my opinion

thats a decent amount of work when you can pick up a tank for 50-80 bucks and hide it....

2 port is pretty slim. i'd spend the few bucks and get another unless like mentioned you want more air and just want to link it to the other. i'm gonna run a 9 port....

So far all I have for the air ride set up is the bags so I have plenty of options for building the rest of the system looks like ill be useing this tank for the on board air for my 4wd..

I say buy another one and just add the one ur friend gave you for more air like said above a free bonus.

Yeah 2 ports is slimm on options but doable, just have to "tee" the ends for your in and outputs.
