Heres my story. Im broke and i know many of you can sympathize with me but heres what im thinking. I have a 2000 xj 5.5'' re and 33s with a dana 30 and chry. 8.25 I plan on getting her regeared to some 4.56s. Im now re-thinking i should put an arb in the back but while i save i was thinking to purchase an air compressor (because it will be needed) for airing up and what not. Ive heard the arb compressors such pretty much so would any other quality compressor work? If so any recommendations?

I'm using a Viair 400C for the exact thing you want to do and it works well. It aired up 33's pretty fast and still does okay with 35's. A belt-driven or CO2 will be much faster, but my system never runs out of air like a CO2 tank will do

I went with the Viair 400C because of Eric's write-up. Although I put it under the hood. Works great w/ 33s.
And while I'm not trying to start anything, you may want to think about locking the D30 w/ that ARB (selectables are nice up front). Hell, get two...

I also agree with the ARB in the front and some other option in the rear... I would weld the rear and run an ARB up front until I got the money to do the rear right.
x2 on the Viair setup... ARB compressors are good at what they are made for, but airing up tires isn't that.

I know this is an old thread, but do you have a pic of your viair under your hood? Love to see it.
