I installed ride rite air bags, im going to install 12v air compressor and tank. I am also doing the self leveling. My question is should i use a 50% or a 100% duty cycle compressor?

Forgot to add get a tank with an extra port so you can put in anair fitting to attach a hose to so you can use it to air up tires and what not with it.

have made our own onboard air system by converting a York air conditioner compressor into an air compressor. I love mine! I ca run an impact off it.

I don't have $200 into my whole system either.

BTW I still manual fill my airbags. They don't leak down at all. I have considered plumbing them up but just have not had the time.

I gave that a thought, used to do that on tow trucks. I just dont want a belt driven unit. They do work good.

I use the Oasis XD30000. That thing works awesome.
