I just wanted to put this information out there to help prevent other people from making the same costly mistakes as me. I have bagged more cars than I can count in my life, but I recently bagged my daily Durango and it’s the first time I’ve done it on a 3rd row SUV. For the majority of the setups I’ve done in the past I always used a 5 gallon 150psi rated tank with dual 400c compressors because it just always works flawlessly. So that’s what I ended up ordering for the Durango build. Turns out I didn’t account for the added weight of these vehicles. This car needs almost 130psi just to get off the ground! So for anyone planning on bagging a car of similar weight or greater, make sure you buy a tank and compressors that can achieve 200psi or you will have a very hard time getting your car to air up! My car has to fill the tank three times from laid out to ride height and that really ruins the experience. My new airlift 5 gallon 200psi tank and dual viair 444s came in the mail today and I can’t wait to see what kind of a difference they make.

The Durango has to be more like trying to bag a full size truck than the typical car, just from size and weight. You may find you need more air volume, not just more pressure, to get it up to height quickly.
I’m looking forward to hearing how the new set up will work
For bigger vehicles what are the psi presets for a comfortable ride just curious?
You claim to have put more cars on air ride than you can count but you’ve never had any management/compressors that were capable of 200psi? I’m calling BS on your experience. Heavier vehicle equals more air needed. It’s simple, you didn’t discover anything profound.
Bragging about Using Viar 444 instead of 485… Wow. You don’t know what you’re talking about.
