A question for the hive. Viair versus ARB

[MOAK]

We are running 285/75/17 ATs. I use the inflation charts from the manufactures and have always attained great and even wear netting -45-50k miles. I like keeping 65-66 lbs in the rears in our current 128 rated tires and 45-47 up front. I have a Viair 400p. It does fine with up to about 55 lbs, then struggles to reach 64lbs. Will the ARB dual compressor kit make a big enough difference to justify the added cost? BTW, We air up & down quite often and packed down size is important. The ARB will fit in our storage box. What is everyone’s experience? Thanks-

I use MorrFlate and love it, do all 4 tires at once. I had Viair before and didn't like it, I hear if you have an air tank Viair it is better. ARB I would buy and install but you need another $250 unit added to the $600 compressor to get a "Set it and forget it" ability that my MorrFlate already has for way less money.

I have the dual ARB and inflation is 60 front and 75 rear. Makes very quick work of getting them aired up.
