Onboard ARB Air Compressor - Single or Dual?

I'm debating between an ARB Dual Compressor (CKMTA12) vs ARB Single Compressor (CKMA12).

For those with the ARB Single Compressor, would you recommend it for airing 35s? Do you air each tires individually? Two at a time or all four at once?

I'll be using the compressor strictly for airing up after the trails. If I get the single I'll mount it in the rear door with the mount from American Adventure Lab. If I go with the dual, I'll mount it in the spare tire mount from AGS Off Road. Really love the AGS spare tire mount but I'm debating if I really need a dual compressor and spending that extra $300.

Appreciate everyone's feedback.

I'm running a single ARB under hood mount on my Badlands SAS. Air up one at a time with no issues. More the adequate for my needs.

I have the single ARB mounted under the hood in my Badlands non-SAS. It works great.

I have the ARB dual compressor, mounted under the hood, and use the Moreflate quad hose to fill up all at once. Fills them all up very fast. If you are interested, utilize the search function tab and you will find numerous posts and threads that will give you different, brands, mounting options and solutions that people are using. Good luck, and keep us posted on which options you choose. And post lots of pictures!

I have a single and it's fine. The issue is how fast do you want to air up. If it's important to you, get the dual. If it's not a big deal, get the single.

ThorsLightning will give you a full package, hoses, 2-cylinder compressor, and a mount (hard top only) for the price of an ARB dual. Very fast.

I'm getting ready to install an ARB locker and will need a compressor. I'll actually use it periodically to air back up when needed too. After some reading on the subject, I'm comfortable going with the single for my uses. Just can't justify double the cost.
