Singles VS. Dual Compressors - Air Suspension

Single VS Dual Compressors

 

One of the most common questions our sales team receives is: "Should I go with a single or dual air compressor(s)?" So, in today's blog, we are going to be covering the pros and cons of both single air compressor and dual air compressor setups for your air ride management. This way, you can easily see which option is best for you and answer any questions you've been having surrounding air compressors. Let's get into it. 

 

Trunk Setup

 

Pros of Dual Air Compressors

  • Faster Fill Rate & Less Compressor Noise
    • Your air tank fills close to twice as fast compared to a single compressor leading to less compressor noise overall. 
  • Back-Up Compressor
    • In the unlikely event that a compressor stops working, you'll still be able to fill up your air tank with the other one. 
  • Build a Show Setup 
    • You can create a symmetrical trunk layout. 
    • You can get creative with your dual setup opening up more design options.

 

Cons of Dual Air Compressors

  • Installation Can Take Longer.
    • There is extra wiring and plumbing when compared to a single compressor setup. 
    • Management layout takes more planning to make a fancy trunk setup.
  • It Takes up More Space 
    • You will lose trunk space with a dual compressor setup.
  • More Expensive 
    • It can be around double the cost of a single compressor.

 

Single Compressor

 

Pros of a Single Air Compressor

  • Easy to be Hidden & Tucked Away
    • A single compressor can be hidden in a spare tire well, so you still have full access to your trunk.
  • Easier / Quicker Install
    • Fewer wires and less plumbing. 
    • If you just want to bag your car and get back on the road, this is the way to go. 
  • Upgradable
    • If you're not sure how you want your trunk setup to look right away, you can always start with a single air compressor and then upgrade to a fancier dual compressor setup later on. 

 

Cons of a Single Air Compressor

  • Harder to Create a Show Trunk Setup.
  • Longer Fill Times
    • Which extends the duration of the compressor noise.
