I have a 92 chevy p 30 chassis and thinking about getting a compressor and dual gauge to monitor my coilspring airbags.Anyone know what system i should go with that wont break the bank.I think i can get by with a standard compressor but not sure.I have been looking around on the web and the cheapest i have found was like 300 and that was firestone.I have firestone airbags so dont know about going with another brand name.Just thought i would ask in case someone knows of a better deal.

I can remember when his sign in was Joe Money. Maybe that is why he changed his name. No more money. He has a motorhome.

JMO... I changed my air bags, put 70 psi in them and check them once a month. No lines, no gauges, just crawl under and check them. Without the air lines, I am forced to crawl under there to check them, which gives me the opportunity to check other things out, for oil leaks etc. I have talked to a few that had more problems with the air lines leaking, so I elected not to use them.


Full timing it since July 2012 My pics

You can piece part a system at airbagit.com. Use the $109 air compressor, and the push button single gage, with dual needles. 1/4" airline, and fittings will get you what you need.

Or you can get the cheap air 12V compressor at walmart,take it out of the case,mount it anywhere and get a control valve for the air and a switch for the power.About $60.,plus cost of air lines.
