arb air source questions

ok, looks like i've got an arb for the front of my yj-now i'm in the stage of setting up my air system. i'm using a 12 volt compressor-the checker auto 2.something cfm model that had the 7 page thread a while back. i'm going to find a place to hard mount it, and probably run it into a small tank(gallon or so) anyone else use this compressor with a tank or to run your arbs? its worked pretty well for the 25 bucks i've got in it, and no more volume than an arb requires, should do just fine. whats the psi desired for the arb? 80-90? is that minumum, or should i regulate it before the solenoid? does the ARB supplied blue line to the axle hold up well(cold temps and snow drifts included) or should i look at something else right off the bat? standard npt fittings on the arb stuff? size?

thanks for any info you can provide, i'd like to get all the parts gathered so i'm ready when i have time to install it.

Regaurding the ARB line, I just went and got some 250psi braided line for $0.49 a foot a couple of fittings and ran it through the frame rail on my ZJ to the rear axle.

It was about $12 and will stand up to a lot more abuse that the nylon lines.

If you run them well, the ARB nylon lines should not give you a problem, but I felt like I wanted to make something with a little more beef.



*EDIT*
This set up eliminates the push in fittings, I also have not expierenced any leaks, just use threadlocker on all the brass fittings, I used blue.
