How to? 2 tanks and 2 compressors? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

How are you guys running 2 tanks and 2 compressors. That's what I want to do. Right now I just have airride installed on the front of my ride. I will be installing the rear real soon, and need to get another tank and compressor. I want to have the front on 1 tank and comp. and the rear on another tank and comp. Does that sound right? I assume that I will need to wire each comp. seperately, on it's own relay and pressure switch, correct? I didn't see a 2 comp. wiring setup on www.*****************

I would tie both tanks together and plumb both compressors to them. That way if one compressor quits,... the other compressor can still pump up all 4 bags.
(your way, will leave you stranded if one compressor goes out)

ya i would tie them together also. yes you need a relay per compressor and if the tanks are tied together you could use one pressure switch and tie it to both relays
