I went to my local oxarc a couple weeks ago. I've been good to them so they've been good to me. it was about 220 for the tank, regulator and to fill it. I spent another 20 on the chuck and hose, and I was off.

this is the one I prefer  http://www.marvinshawshocks.com/nitro.htm

I had the smith gauges and they were alright but this set up is far more accurate IMO.

I always use nitrogen in the drag slicks. Much more consistent than air.

loyalty to the American people."

Here is the one that I use.  It comes with the gauge, high pressure hose, and air fitting for the shocks.  This guy is great to work with and has fast shipping. Here is the link for Ebay.

I keep my tank with me just in case. It serves the purpose of an air pump if you ever need to air down for the sand.

I had a setup similar to this one on e-bay but a smith guage. wasn't too bad for what it was but the guages I posted a link to above are the same money complete. the  smith guage read all the way up to 600 psi but would only go 450 psi, also everytime I released the chuck I was losing about 15 -20 psi. it never seemed like I was losing much but after I checked it with my new guage set I confirmed it. the company I got the new guages from claim no loss but I think there is about a 1 -2 psi loss, no big deal though.

Psi is not that big of concern tho, set the ride height and call it good, if your loosing 15-20 psi when releasing, set the regulator 15-20 psi higher to make up the difference..
