Question Tapping the suspension compressor ?

Hi.
Has anyone tapped the suspension compressor to supply air pressure to fill tires or something ? I believe can supply almost 100 psi easily. Saw a pneumatic jack that may be very happy with it.

This has been asked over and over again.

It has a very small displacement and will probably burn out before you get much done.

I've thought about it too. I know someone on the forum (I think Discorama but please correct me if I'm wrong) put a harbor freight air compressor in its spot and did a write up on it? Genius idea so I copied the design and did it myself but found it hard to inflate 4x 32" tires on a 16inch rim. I ended up replacing the air compressor with a Smittybilt and it worked well!
