Been away from air suspension for a while ....... whats the good stuff?

I've always had good luck with viair 480's and 450's. The 480's are super fast when you run 2 of them on the 165-200 switch that comes with the dual pack.

as for bags, I've used contitech and airlift and both have held up very well for 50k miles on each truck.

for valves, the classics still work great, parker, SMC, Sirai, ART, asco

the rest is pretty much a given, DOT airline, parker, SMC, swagelok fittings, and the switches are the same for juice or bags.

also, use the green gas teflon tape to seal everything, it's thicker than the cheap white shit

i got 2 viar 380s 1 on each 3 gallon tank

I beat the shit out of my old 450's and they took it no prob, I highly recommend Viair for electric comp. I've got a york now and love it.

ive only dealt with viair 380's and conitechs love em both

ive got 2 viair 480s filling a 12 gallon tank if the tank is completley drained it takes them bout 2 min to fill it. bag wise im firestone 2600s at all 4 corners and have no complaints the whole setup is very reliable

i have had firestones on my ride for 5 years.Viar compressor has never let me down either.i have always had manual valves but recently switched to electric,i love the parker valves too.tim what size tank are you tryin to fill with your comps?

regular 5 gallon tank. been through a viair 450 and one 380 filling to 175 psi.also with anything over 3 gallons i would say having 2 compressors is a must in my book

so why dont you just ask richie?????

slam bags and viair i have had a few 380s on 2 diff trucks and i have forgot they are on and took them to 250 psi a few times and they still run good

to what psi? it takes a dual pack of 480's takes a lil over 7 minutes to fill a 5 gallon to 200 psi. is there some kind of compressor supercharger ive never heard about?

cus this is the point of forums like this....to get other peoples opinions on what is out thare and what they have used, and what their experinces are with each of them?

kinda like when you were having PMA build your truck, but you insisted on asking and calling us at the shop repiteadely and asking anyone else on the internet to tell you what backspacing your wheels should be at, for what they were building you.......

outsourcing info, getting other peoples experinces....

yea
