It'll work but you would be better off with two of them. Your compreeesor won't have to run just to get you up.

I agree and the more you run your compressor filling that one tank the harder it's going to be on the comp.

If you are asking will it be enough to get you up on one cycle from aired out to ride height, I will have to say maybe, maybe not.

It might be enough volume, if you have a compressor that can pump enough psi. If your compressor cuts off at a low psi, then it probably won't have enough volume to re-fill the bags.

If you don't mind having two tanks, add another 3 gallon. If you just want one tank, sell the 3 gallon, and get a 5 gallon instead.

Even with two 5 gallon tanks, my system cycles every other time on my 77...

I am only running the three gallon tank on mine. I pretty much don't even mess with my bags so it's not a big deal. It has only enough to go from empty to aired up before the compressor kicks on.
