i am new to nitrogen, i got everything hooked up and works great but one thing is when i lift the truck once it uses 100 psi. i dont have a holding tank it is t'd off the reg. to the valves. will a holding tank help. or is this just how it is? i prob only have room for a 2 gal. will this even do anything? thanks in advance

How large is your bottle?
Adding a holding tank will make your system more responsive, but it won't affect the amount of air used on each lift. Even a 2 gallon tank, if it has individual ports for distribution to your bags, will give you a noticeable increase in performance.
But if your bottle is small, you might consider having a compressor tied in as a backup!

Just get a lil 3 gallon tank...
Its always a good idea to use a holding tank. bottle to bag seems risky to me.

I have friends who will blow a whole bottle in a day. Its all in how happy your fingers get...

I wouldmake sure that you have that bottle in as safe of a place that you can find in your truck. I run a 40 cf bottle of nitrogen on my bagged go kart and you just gotta be real careful. I don't know about using it on a daily driver though. Those bottles are very dangerous at 2300 psi. Thts about what mine is topped off. I would recommend going with some sort of compressor just because you won't ever really need to get over 200 psi. Much safer got you and everybody else on the road.

^ A lot of things come in to play like what size your bottle is and the temp it was filled at.
