Question:

Im thinking about pairing this with the Firestone Ride Rite Model W21-760-2710 air springs. Will the Quickshot also inflate tires horse trailer with tires that need inflation to 120psi and will it operate pneumatic tools to remove/install lug nuts?

The Air Lift QuickShot Compressor System # AL25572 is a great choice for an onboard air compressor that will work with the Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs # F2710 and will also allow you to fill tires. This will not be able to pump enough air quickly enough to use pneumatic tools unfortunately. I have not seen a 12 volt air compressor capable of providing enough output to use pneumatic tools. The Air Lift compressor will put out 0.81 CFM at 100psi.

I recommend the Firestone Dual Air Command # F49VV to give you more compressor output. It uses a dual gauge in cab controller for adjustments and monitoring as you drive your 2016 Ram 3500. The compressor with the Firestone kit will put out 150psi. This will allow you to fill your tires to your desired pressure. Its still not enough for you to run air tools off of.

Most of your pneumatic tools like a impact wrench require 5-10CFM to run.
