Air Tanks

Shockkingz carries a complete range of air tanks designed for air suspension systems, onboard air builds, and off-road air management setups. An air pressure tank serves as the central storage vessel in any air system holding compressed air supplied by the compressor so your suspension, air lockers, and pneumatic accessories can draw on demand without waiting for the compressor to catch up. The right air suspension tank determines how quickly your system responds to height adjustments, how long your compressor runs between cycles, and how reliably your entire setup performs under daily use and trail conditions. Whether you are building a complete air ride tank setup for a custom truck or adding reserved capacity to an existing air management system, Shockkingz has the right tank for your application.

Why Choose Our Air Tanks

1. Automotive-specific air tanks avoid the compromises of repurposed industrial vessels, offering welded, pressure-tested construction designed for vehicle mounting from the start.

2. Material choice affects durability aircraft-grade aluminum and heavy-duty steel resist corrosion and moisture retention better in under-vehicle environments.

3. Operating pressure ratings above the typical 150-200 PSI range most compressors and air suspension systems run within provide a safety margin.

4. Tank volume affects performance larger tanks reduce compressor run time and support faster, smoother ride height adjustments.

5. Tank profile matters for fitment: cylindrical tanks suit traditional mounting, while low-profile pancake tanks fit tighter spaces under frames or bed floors.

Features of Air Tanks

1. Welded, pressure-tested construction with smooth internal surfaces minimizes moisture retention and corrosion risk.

2. Pre-tapped NPT ports allow direct connection to fittings, drain valves, check valves, and pressure switches without additional machining.

3. Capacities range from compact two-gallon units for space-limited builds to five-gallon and larger options for systems running multiple air bags and accessories.

4. Round cylindrical and low-profile pancake shapes accommodate different mounting locations, from wheel wells to under-frame spaces.

5. Mounting brackets or strap provisions come pre-installed, along with multiple NPT-tapped ports for inlet, outlet, drain, gauge, and pressure switch connections.

6. Air tanks work as part of a broader air suspension system see our air tank components collection and this related read on how suspension components affect ride quality for more context.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most air suspension builds perform well with a two to five-gallon air suspension tank. Larger tanks reduce compressor cycling and improve response speed when adjusting multiple air bags simultaneously, making them ideal for builds running front and rear air management together.

An air pressure tank is a general-purpose compressed air storage vessel. An air suspension tank is specifically sized, ported, and rated for automotive air bag systems with mounting provisions and port configurations designed for vehicle installation rather than shop equipment.

Aluminum is the preferred material for air ride tanks due to its corrosion resistance, lightweight construction, and polished finish options. Steel tanks offer greater strength at a lower cost but require protective coatings to help prevent internal rust and air system contamination.

Shockkingz air tanks come with pre-welded brackets or strap-mount provisions for installation under the frame, inside the truck bed, or in the cab. Secure mounting that protects the tank from road debris and excessive vibration helps maximize service life and safeguard all port connections.
