I am wanting to connect 2 Thomas compressors on my air ride system. Question is, One compressor is a Thomas317 150psi and the other is a Thomas315 130psi compressor. What's the best way to connect them without any problems. Would I need one or 2 pressure sensors becuase of the psi difference?

sell both of them and get the engine driven compressor from airlift. That's your best bet....or sell them and get a viar 450.

If you really want to have two different compressors I'd run them both at 130 and you won't have to worry about them crapping out on you

What about running the 317 for the front bags and the 315 for the rear? Right now he has a total of 5 gallons of air storage. Thinking about getting another air tank, would that be better?

If you are going to run them both, I'd run them both to 150. My reasoning is that if you don't use your bags a lot, the little comp will last a long time. If you do run them a lot, you won't be happy with the 315 anyway... So you might as blow it up now and buy something else :tongue:
Another option would be to run them at the different pressures. The 315 will just shut off sooner. If your worried about it, put a check valve in between it and the tank.
