I have an SR3 with air jacks. I have the lance that connects with the car - my question relates to the other equipment that will make it all work. I know you need the bottle of compressed air or nitrogen, a regulator valve, pressure gauge and line to take 250 - 300 psi with the correct fitting to screw into the back of the lance. Can anyone tell me what I should be asking for when I buy everything necessary to make the jacks work, ie thread sizes and any other necessary fittings. I don't need a huge nitrogen/air tank - I have seen people using a SCUBA diving tank - as the car is only up on the jacks 2 - 3 times a meeting.

Look forward to hearing from you.

I used a medium sized nitrogen tank which I purchased from a welding shop. I had a dolly cart modified to hold my air jack and tire filler fittings and used a decent quality regulator with 50' of hose.

I could use this for the tires and the jacks for an entire weekend with 30+ cycles with no issues. The "medium" bottle was just manageable.
