Re: air compressors?
What RideTech compressor in particular did you buy? All are good choices, so I am sure you made a good decision. What size tank are you running?

Re: air compressors?
The VIAIR 450C will be faster, as well as the 444C and 400C. That compressor is built by Thomas, and is a great compressor that will last you many years like the VIAIR. The Thomas is just a little slower than the VIAIR's. Not to say it is bad at all.
You made a great choice, and if you ever want more speed, you can add another Thomas or VIAIR compressor. Filling a 3 gallon tank will be Ok with the Thomas. If going with air on all 4 corners, then I would look at a 5 gallon, and a second compressors. But start with what you have already, and go from there. |

Re: air compressors?
The Thomas comps will fill a 3gal tank from zero to 150psi in 6mins. The Viair's would prob be faster. I recall there was a difference between the Thomas & Viair in the 'duty cycle' when they ran.
