I have ordered 2 compressors see attached link. my plan was use these for 150psi then a vlair or similar to go to 150-200 psi. but now im doubting 200psi through k5’s it will be needed

I don’t know anything about those compressors.
You’ll have to let us know how fast they fill your tanks.
150psi is plenty for a K5.
Hmmmm I tried something like that once, but you are going to find they are not very good under continual useage. Mine kept cutting out when hot and eventually it destroyed itself.
Oh boy, maybe you should have read the description a bit better:
Inflates 4x4 tyres (10R.15) from 15psi to 32psi in approx 1 minute and then continues to do so for 5 of your mate’s vehicles as well, before there is a chance of the thermal shut down switch kicking in.
So 6 minutes of runtime before they shutdown. You might be able to fill a small tank, probably no more than 5 gallons, before it happens … then you have to wait until it cools down.
It also doesn’t say what the restart pressure rating is, so you could end up destroying them in very short order.

yea now i just gotta find some k5’s lol yea i will ley u guys know how it goes.
to be honest a good 4wd compressor is damm strong considering u need constant air to drive air lockers, and going from 10-35psi on massive tyres.
ive ordered 2 so they should be worked pretty low really.
their specs may be ok for filling tires but their duty cycle is really limited, especially trying to fill a 5 gallon tank to 150 PSI.
Yeah, 150psi is a whole different ballgame than 35psi
U may be right. How ever instead of my rvb horn as well as another from trainhornexpress I’m serriously tempted 2 just order a full kit of k5la’s 8 gal tank and dual 444c’s from realtrainhorns or Jackson transmissions
$1500 I can still then use my air tanks for even more air and use compressor elseware
