Ive been looking at compressors to power 2 arb lockers and possibly inflate a tire occasionally. these are the 2 I am looking at.

i know the first one has a built in tank, and the second does not, I was wondering if I got the cheaper one, and routed my own tank if it would work just as well. Also in these kits do they include all the lines to connect 2 arb's or just one. I just see the one switch so Im assuming one. Also, any tips on the install.

I cannot comment about the 2 compressors you listed above but
I have the one listed below, It works to supply the lockers & ok as a comp to pump up my tires. I am happy with it.

It only included the wiring harness & 1 switch to turn it on,
The locker activation switches, solenoids & air lines come with the Locker itself. The good news is that the Harness has all the connections for 2 lockers.

the second one you listed is only a 10% duty cycle or something like that. meaning for every whole minute it runs, it needs 9 minutes to cool off. it is only meant to run lockers, NOT inflate tires. the second one does have a little tank above the motor, but like I said, only enough to run a locker or 2.

Check out the new CKMA12 if you want to pump tires. It has a much longer duty cycle and a higher stroke volume.
