What are the specs on your tires and wheels? are you running wheel spacers as well?

Running a 17x9 with a negative offset (4.53ish back spacing) tires are a 285/75x17 (34) Nitto trail grappler. Running spidertrax spacers in the rear and have an all pro 2" LT front set up.

Small little update today. So my Wolo horns decided to crap out the other week. So my import tuner side came out and got me some new horns.
The dual tone Wolo. Worked ok until they died.
Oh well hello Hella Supertones!
Got a bracket from subimods.com to hold both.
Along with an easy install wire harness.
And viola, I am showing off my horns like the subie guys and gals. Oh and yeah they are LOUD!

No more crummy small air compressor for me. Got my PowerTank in today. Hose reaches all 4 tires no problem.

Stretched the legs today a bit. Do have some rubbing I need to take care of both front (expected) and rear (not expected). Now just to figure the rear out.
Had to extract a first gen out of a pickle. He was rolling by himself and I am always happy to help.

that's co2 right, Do you have to worry about over inflation or under due to temp changes? Or not a big deal? I always have nitrogen on hand for work

Sounds like form others that when it gets cold it is not efficient and pressure drops but worked great today. I would have to report back with the experience after a few trips.

Wheel spacers will do that.. Probably going to need to extend the bump stops on both ends. Do you have stock ones on there at stock height in the rear?

Yup. It was minor and the front part of the rear so I might just trim. The front is another story, do have the bumps designed for the kit but knew I probably would rub a little so no big deal. Have an idea for trimming.

For trail use..., I have found losing a little up travel by extending the bump stops is often a net gain in capability. Helps keep the body panels out of the ruts....and really no loss of traction or stability as long as it is reasonable... Running at high speed... different story. Some people don't mind a little rub.. Drives me nuts....
It's pretty easy to put some small adjustment into the front... Rear requires fabrication of a bracket or one of the off shelf solutions... You really won't miss it at all.... Especially when you add more travel in the rear. You will need longer stops because of the increased articulation.
I'm assuming you don't do high speed stuff. If that is the case... The up travel may be needed to stay off harsh hits...

Most of my buddies run CO2. I like how quick it is when airing up, but I agree- the fact that you have to refill tanks, refill tires 3-4 days afterwards due to pressure loss, etc. got old quick. Ended up getting a ARB twin and couldn't be happier. Unlike the Viair units they're actually pretty fast, esp. when paired with an extra tank.

Because the size/weight of tank? Or because of the volume? I picked up a 40 instead of a 55cu/i, hahaha it's almost the same weight and not much smaller. Maybe I'll start lookin for a co2 tank I can "borrow"

Do you get to use the HOV/carpool lane now?

It's the volume. Also since CO2 is being stored as a liquid you don't have a 3600psi cylinder in your backseat.
