It will work fine but it may take a while to add any significant amount of air to a tire. The air suspension pump only gives out small fuffs of air per stroke.

So far I have only used it to adjust the shocks...wasn't sure if it would hurt it or not on the tires..I have a compressor at home I was looking for something while traveling if they needed to be topped off...

This unit will not pump your tires up, but its great for setting air pressure on tires, just did my truck tires works great.

Here's what you need for the road. It is a 12v compressor like you get a Walmart with the plastic housing taken off.

You can even get fancy and mount it like this Eglide Goodie's overpriced kit:

Take a close look. It is nothing more than the guts from a 10 buck compressor, like I have in my hand, a bit of wire, a hose, a switch, and a fitting. You can make your ownon-board air set upfor less than 50 bucks.

That is a nice small setup but I would have to leave the wife's electric curling iron at home if I took that!!

I got the valve cap from the tires and suspension system mixed up and they woudn't interchange I just assumed it would not work. Will the suspension pump fit the tire valve stem?
