ARB makes a compressor for thier lockers, and when if piped to a tank can be used to air up tires. Best compressor? Wide open question with 1,000,000's of interpretations depending on whom you ask. Electric or engine driven? Converted A/C pump or after market, engine size, number of batteries, etc, yada, yada, yada.

Identify ALL your air needs (lockers, tires, suspention, tools ... ) and get one at least 25% larger :-)

I dont see why you couldnt power em both with one compressor the pressure to them is controlled by your switch not the fact that the compressor is on. Just use a small air tank as a reservoir to make sure you have enough air

this is what ARB does one compressor with a T fitting adn two pressure switches.

I recommend doing the belt driven compressor just because i hate lots of wires under my hood

Wire's ain't nut'n
First: The engine drive will take some HP to turn when engaged, and slightly less when it's not. Think A/C compressor, it spins all the time, but only 'drives' when the magnets are engaged to drive the pully and crank the pistons.
Upside: You can control when it 'engages' or have the press switch do it for you so you always have, "a full tank".
Downside: You gotta be running the engine to fill the tank when your using air tools or filling lotsa big tires, and it can only go in one place.
Elect-trick
Upside: You can run off the battery if your in camp and pumping up mattresses (or sheep) No HP drain on the motor when it is running, and can go wherever you want it!
Downside: Gotta make room for it some where, and yes - wires.

They both have the same plumbing involved to wherever the tank and outlet are.
