you could probably use the disco compressor but it would not last long it is not build for large volumes of air.

The Powertank has a regulator on it like a scuba tank...so you can control the air pressure once the main valve is open.

CO2 tanks are around 1000 psi. The powershot regulator will reduce that pressure to 0-300 psi.

great minds.....that is what i did. made my sliders as tanks hooked the compressor to them from that mounted location. have since had problems with the little compressor. i used an old one that I had laying around. just can't do anything for free. but that is definitely, not a 1000lb co2 tank

its a good idea using the sliders I used to use the tube bumper on my jeepster.
I throw a cheap high volume compressor from HF in the stock location, probably cost you $40.00

oh sure, I see what's going on here. just another conspiracy to get me back in HF. $40 is probably more like $240. Like my $1000 winch

"That's where the compressor sits if you have SLS." Bingo, that makes sense; I thought it had to be something like that. I don't have SLS, never had it, and don't want it, as it is just one more thing to maintain, and those rear air bag springs are not worth the trouble, in my opinion. Thanks for the information, guys!

I mounted a small power amp there for my bass subwoofer that I put in the rear.
