What tire inflator are you guys using? Having a hard time finding one that has a hose long enough to reach the rear tires. Are there any you guys recommend to mount under the carriage for this?

You are going to want one with a good duty cycle. You can always just buy a longer hose and I would also look into a quick connect relocation kit. I'm out of the office so I can look into it too far but I know we offer a few options for this. We work with ARB, Vair, etc...when I get the chance I'll see what I can come up with. Do you want just a compressor or with a tank as well? Since you are doing this it wouldn't be much more work to do some train horns while you are at it ;)

Lol... I've thought about train horns but not right now. I had to fill up the tires and bought the "slime professional" model... Says it's a 30' hose but in reality it's slightly above a 3rd of that because of the coiled hose. Went to do the other side and the battery clamps slipped off and almost ****** up my fan. We got plenty of room under the bed so I figured I could locate one there working off of 12V. Then I'll just carry a 20'hose with me.

I bought one at auto zone for $35 that does the trick. It gets used frequently.

And that'll fill up truck tires?

Works for all my vehicles including the Ram. Generates 150 PSI which is a lot better than the other compressors I have. Not sure it would stand up to regularly filling all the tires when I used to drive 18 wheelers.

I've had the same cheap Slime brand compressor that I bought from AutoZone like 8 years ago for $20. Works great for when I need it.
