I think you'd be happy with the Smitty Built or something similar. Just stay away from the H@rb0r Fright units!

According to the manual, the GX470 air suspension compressor pressure relief valve opens at 142 PSI. With an aux tank, that's more than enough for tires or a humungous air horn setup. Someone really needs to try tapping into this system. Actually the air bags themselves are 'aux tanks'. So what if the suspension bottoms out when you blow the air horn! LOL!

If I were to add one on, I would lean toward the ARB, that way, if I ever decided to add a locker I could go that route as well.

I realize the are about 5x the cost, but all my other ARB gear has been great.
