I am concerned that the compressor will not fill air bags to 60 psi with a load on the truck, any thoughts?

I loaded my truck with coal (1600lb). my truck is equipped with air shocks. I started loading the truck with a starting shock charge of 75 psi when it was loaded and then added a additional 100 psi to level the truck. It did the job well in less the 60 seconds. With air bags it will do the job but it will take longer do to the greater air volume.

If you have a heavy load, yes it is hard to fill your bags. It will do it, it just takes longer. I can fill my bag up to 80psi. But most of the time I have my bag at 20psi to 30psi daily with me driving. When I take on passengers I go 40psi to 60psi. Good luck.

They will with no issues. We have filled them up to almost 100 with a fully loaded Toy Hauler camper trailer on the back and had no issues. The airbags work great

I have the system In my truck and can inflate to 80 psi if needed. I never go over 60 psi.that amount of pressure makes the ride super stiff

I can put in 80psi + with my camper and 28 foot trailer with tools and jeep In trailer

I had this to run to air sleeves in the front of my 69 vw beetle. You can pick up the front end if you were feeling strong. It may work but im sure it will take a while to fill up two bags to 60psi

we used an air compressor. if you don't have one, just go to a gas station and use theirs.

It all depends on what his air compressor puts out. I would say 150 psi he wouldn't have a problem.

The compressor has worked well with the pneumatic tools. I found it on sale later at Lowes.

I never used the compressor. I returned it. I inflate the bags manually when ever I am going to tow something. I just use my garage compressor. I bleed it the same way.

With the power cord hooked to the battery on my truck. The compressor will sit on the ground and have maybe a foot or 2 to move. The hose and power cord together give just enough length to reach the rear tires. My battery is on the driver side so doing the pass side rear i sit the compressor under hood on pass side. Got to watch that you dont get the cord tangled in the belts or fan. My truck is ext cab 4x4

yes, you need to get a gauge when you fill it, you don't want to overfill your compressor.

Mine has a tough time removing rusted lug nuts from a truck but it may be my impact wrench more than the compressor itself. It should be strong enough with the right impact wrench.

Huge, the big deal with the CO2 is the expansion rate as the liquid converts to a gas. That's why you can fill the tires on about 3-4 truck (based on tire size). If you used air, there is no expansion rate and you probably could only fill 1 tire, maybe. This is not a good tank for that. You would be better off with an air compressor.

I am thinking my husband used his compressor. We have only used it once so far.

Blew the 15 amp fuse in my truck attempting to inflate my "skike" tires to 100 psi(kind of a cross between xcountry skis and roller blades). Works fine inflating my vehicle tires to 32 psi though.

It sounds like your using to much air pressure. Turn down the PSI on your compressor. it should be no more than 90 PSI. On my compressor there is a knob you can use to turn down the air pressure. I made sure I was at 90 PSI and it worked great. Hope that helps

I have in past. The key is to get the stuff in and start driving right away to spread the sealant inside the tire. I wanted to be sure to have enough pressure rather than not enough in a pinch. I can always reduce the pressure later. My tires go up to 42 so after a few minutes of conservative driving I check the pressure. I wouldn't try it on an already questionable tire, of course, such as a sidewall puncture. I've used this stuff on mower and wheel barrow tires also but I use the smaller size, in those cases, of course. I also have a mobile air pump that runs off my battery. Well worth it and if you have any worries about using the truck inflator version, you can always fall back on the air pump after using the smaller one, if necessary. Get a decent quality pump. It's great and they are relatively small too. Hope this helps.

2 gallon compressors are not meant to run air tools. You might be able to take a lug nut or two off. Then wait for it to build up pressure but you might as well use hand tools if your going to do that

When I use mine, I let it come up to pressure and it stops itself somewhat over 120psi at the tank. I have the output side of the regulator set to about 50 psi for filling tires on vehicles. Part way through filling up a tire the compressor will turn on again to bring the tank up to pressure again. If you are expecting the compressor to turn off at what you have set the regulator to, that is now how it works. The compressor will always fill the tank with its "normal" operating pressure and the regulator outputs the selected pressure.

Just for that kind of test (overnight air leak), I have had mine pumped up to pressure since I received it. It has probably bled off a couple pounds a WEEK as per the mounted included gauge. Your overnight air loss is usually attributed to having the air hose connected to the outlet port on the compressor and having a accessory attached to the air hose,,,then the unit WILL leak air overnight,,as with most if not all compressors in that configuration. When not in use, remove the air hose from the compressor quick connect outlet port.

Check with Q Industries customer service. I have found them be very responsive. I had to replace the air hose as it came apart after several years use. I wrote a review and in the review complained that the plastic catches on the bag broke when I was putting the compressor up after replacing the hose. They evidently read the review and sent me a new bag free of charge.
