do you want the tank to be in your bed, or under it?
gotta(be)low said:I'm trying to decide on what to do for my air tanks. I'm going to run down to the steel yards soon and need to know what you guys think would be best. So far, I've got four options.
1. Buy a premade. I don't know if I want to do this yet as prices are gouged simply on the fact that they are sold with the "air ride" connotation.
2. Make my own. I can buy steel tube and caps and make custom ones, in my dimensions. I just aquired a TIG machine so I have no fear of a poor fabrication.
3. Use a propane bottle setup. Old propane bottles can hold 150 psi safely so this would be a cheap alternative.
4. Fab up a Keg. I've never seen a keg used in air suspension. I know someone already told me that it wouldn't work because of the top valve. If I were to cut that off and weld a stainless plate on over the hole, it would make one bad ass looking tank. Think polished keg in the bed. I'm not sure however how much pressure they could hold but I'd imagine a lot as it is stainless steel and they are made to take abuse. Let me know what you guys think. My dad (who is a master welder) and I will be looking at ways to do this, just want to know what you guys think.
