I'm trying to decide which tank to run on my newest car. it's an 03 corolla. I can't afford juice so for now i'm all on the air. I think a 3 gallon in my spare hole would be fine just for fron't and back, but what do you guys think. I'm only gonna have  front/back. and just lift it em\nough to drive and lay out. I know there's a lack of volume but at 200psi, i think it will do for what i need. Let me know your input. I need space for stereo so i gotta cram it in the spare hole.

I would just save up for the juice if thats what you eventually want to use. Why bag/juice a ride twice? If you're running compressors though, you're gonna want at least a 5 gallon tank. Ive only got a 3 gallon on my truck, but I'm on CO2 so I dont have but a second or 2 to wait after i lift the front.

shop around i know some one sales a round pancake tank that will fit in the spare tire area  and if u can run a nitrogen tank like chubbz said   it fills fast    then just run 1 compressor for back up paulpresident of WWW.DAILYDRAGGERS.ORG

You are going to have probably just enough. It also depends a lot on how much life you're going to need. If you need 100 psi all around than 3 gallons isn't going to do it. You'll need at least 5 if not more. If you only need like 80 in the front 2 bags and only 40 in the back 2 then you should be ok. It's just going to be a huge pain because once you fill the back you're going to have 3-4 minutes where you don't have enough air to do anything for the front bags. You're better off going juice if you don't have the space to put lots of air.  and just having front/back isn't going to change the amount of air you need. It will take X amount of air to get lift regardless of what valve is comes through

thanks, and i'm gonna run the air for now.It may be a year or 2 before i swap to juice. i am however gonna run 2 three gallons in the spare hole, so 6 gallons should be enough.

93 accord wagon with cylinders...  2x 1.3 gal pancake tanks 100psi in front- 50 in rears..I like 3 gal- cuz its more than enough to get up to being fully locked up- then dropped back down to ride height..  then quick recovery.. i dont have to wait FOREVER for my single 380 to fill a bigger tank.   just my opinion.....
