> where the best place to get them

Godfather's Customs has the best selection and prices, even though it is for ricers.

I have a dual command II with firestone airbags. Beings I had a compressor I added a 2.5 gallon tank (got at 4 wheel parts) which is the perfect size for my frame rail. I also added 2 air horns for maximun noise. Wasn't 2 hard to do and I really love it.

Look at the ARB and quickair, they apparently don't need a tank to accomplish filling a tire. Quickair has a couple different sizes depending on your needs. Both are pretty well respected names from what I know. Just do a search on google or 4wheelparts.com for more info(sorry this site eats link to non advertisers ).
