Solid Axle Swap BS Thread

That's standards for ya. Mine sat flat for years. My current 63s aren't much better.

 

those springs are typically flat anyways was my impression. lots of droop just flat at ride height.

 

maybe it is an issue with the springs they sell for the 2nd gens. The AP 3" springs I had before the SAS were really great. When I sold them after the SAS they still had the same amount of arch as when they were brand new.

 

FTFY

 

i was under the impression that negative arch when fully stuffed was a good thing. My 63's dont have much arch at ride height and go negative at full stuff but droop good.

 

Not a good thing, you want them just barely going negative on stuff.

 

I stand corrected

 

depends on how often you will have/want to replace them. negative arch just degrades the springs faster

 

no worries! damn good compressors. shipping from Hawaii would probably cost just as much as a new one

I found that one late last night too and was curious what the user reviews were. I feel like Smittybilt is hit or miss, but for the most part I've had good luck with their products. For the price, it's definitely the cheapest compressor option.

I wish - took a while to find the specs on it, but I don't think it'd be very friendly for 35s/37s long-term.

my only gripe with CO2 is 1) the bulky factory of the tank 2) I have to remember to fill it up

moar! I need all the airs

 

I was thinking of hooking my 400p to a 3 gallon tank and allow the compressor to fill it up to 110psi (or whatever the actuator is set to.) Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?

 

I need the $450 I saved with a CO2 setup over twin 480C's.

 

Probibly will last just as long as an ARB or viair thats significantly more money. Obviiusly the best way to go is get a york and find some place to fit it under the hood.

 

Yea but how will you get evreyone to spank it on instagram to your homemade co2 setup? Throw it out and bust out the CC for that viair street cred!!

 

Also a thought and option.... been way too long since I researched this crap. I ran a 400H in my Tacoma without a tank and it did well, but it only had to fill 34's. I did have one wheeling trip where it had to fill 4 - 34's, 4 - 35's and 4 - 31's and it worked like a champ. hmmmm

If I were filling 33" and under tires, absolutely. At least from the info I've seen on that compressor. I won't have any room to mount a compressor in the engine bay. I'm out of space under the hood of the crawler. Would most likely go under the bed.

 

It works fine on my 37s.

 

hmmm how long does each tire take? say to go from 12psi to 32-35 psi?

 

I never timed it, but i air up from 4psi to 25psi and its probibly around 5mins per tire if i had to guess. I usually pack my shit up, look for broken parts and bs during that time. We reseated a bead with it on the trail as well, took forever but it worked.

 

I use a 450h with tank. The tank is pretty useless as far as airing up tires go. It's depleted with one tire and then just have to wait on the compressor anyways. But I did fill two sets of 35s back to back without any issues.

 

interesting, my only fear is given the climate I'm currently in, I'd imagine it'll shut off often and I don't want to really spend an hour airing up

yeah I was gonna read up to see if the tank was worth it or not. I know it's kinda useless for running air tools, as that would have been a benefit. I was happy with my 400H and no tank in the taco, but again, I only aired up 33's and 34's. 450H would be sufficient for 35's and 37's me thinks... hmmm might be between that one and the smittybilt one @1999RegCab mentioned

 

The Smittybilt looks to be the winner in both CFM and cost.
