The Multi-tire i.d.k™ is a kit to ease the job of Airing down, Airing up*. Equalize the pressure between tires to help with the tread wear. Easy and convenient for doing more at a time.
If you go with the 2 tire inflation / deflation kit now, then decide to go with a 4 tire inflation / deflation kit down the road all you will need to get later is the Multi-tire i.d.k +2™ instead of a completely new kit.

-
M-style (aka. industrial, Milton, type-m) Most common used air fitting. In most cases can be found on these air sources: ARB, TJM, PowerTanks, and similar air compressors.
-
Q-style (aka. Japanese industrial, Nitto, type-q) work with the Smittybilts and some other similar air compressors. You will need to flip-flop the air fittings that came on the air lines with that compressor. Hose clamps and instructions are included in the kit to do this swap.
-
Other air sources that are also known to use the Q-style fittings: Dobinsons, Maxi Trac, Iron Man 4x4, Rough Country, some twin pump air compressors (10.2 CFM / 300 LPM). Some of these will require a i.d.k whip™ .
-
Both M and Q-styles have a Schrader valve. Some small air compressors use this valve stem fitting to inflate.
Air Chuck Options: Not all valve stems or wheels are built the same.
-
Haltec Air Chuck: Straight 3 tooth locking collar air chuck with dust cap.
-
Slim Air Chuck: Straight 1 tooth locking air chuck. Recommended for tight areas, Apex RPV valve stems, and rubber valve stems with a short threaded area.
-
Ball Air Chuck: Angled 1 tooth locking air chuck. Recommended for low clearance wheels. Found these work best on some beadlock wheels.
Some wheels and valve stems may not be compatible with certain air chucks.

This system is great for: Overland rigs, Expedition rigs, Adventure rigs, Rock Crawlers, Casual dirt road travelers, UTVers , SXSers, and home garage use. Some benefits from lowering air pressure while traveling the dirt can be better traction on the rocks, helps smooth the ride on rough roads, and help float on top of the sand/snow.
