13. Oasis Manufacturing
Oasis introduces its '06 XD3000 12-vdc air compressor. This Xtreme Duty monster delivers 200 psi to 8 cfm at 100 psi, with a 200-psi maximum pressure rating for the most demanding air suspension and show vehicle applications. This compressor will fill a 5-gallon tank, from zero to 150 psi in 54 seconds. The performance is attributed to a commercial-duty motor directly coupled to a 10ci twin-cylinder York compressor. The XD3000 has a cooling fan on the motor for extended run-time. The low-voltage cut-off protection allows the compressor to output 200 psi. Built-in smart technology electronics protect the motor with an indicator and automatic low-voltage cutoff.

14. Slam Specialties
Slam Specialties' brand of high-quality, high-performance air springs has four sizes currently available, including 5-, 6-, 7-, and 8-inch diameters, and three pressure models of each. All models are size and bolt pattern compatible with Firestone air springs. Size and bolt pattern is where the similarity ends. Slam Specialties' line of air springs are constructed with steel bead rings within specially designed dual-end closure plates. All plates are permanently bonded, instead of clamped or crimped, to non-ballooning rubber bellows, making it virtually impossible for the plates to separate from the rubber, even unrestrained at maximum pressure.
