What size air tank?
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

Re: What size air tank?
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.

Re: What size air tank?
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.
