    I can't find any capacity ratings on the site. What am I missing?

    And you can't use them as 'sliders', because you'd not want to damage them. So maybe for beach boys, assuming there is enough capacity to re-air tires?

    Q: What is the total air capacity for a set of Truck Lungs?

    A: Depending on the cab size and vehicle type the capacity ranges from 8 to 14 gallons of air at 200psi


    From their FAQ page :thumbsup:

    Cool enough idea, but the kind of person who's going to need to carry around air like that isn't going to want nerf bars, they're going to want sliders. Jeep guys have been doing this with their roll cages for years.

    Mostly yes. But what about beach guys who only air down in sand? Might work for them.

    The other advantage with the roll cage is you will know if you've cracked a weld or something. No more air! It was a common way to test roll cage integrity in drag cars too. In addition to the Schrader, a tapped in pressure gauge.
