Air tank instead of stock jack?

mkjeep is right about the fact that the area where the jack is located is no where large enough for an air tank. I use the spare tire as air reservoir. Even without a compressor a 37" tire filled to 100psi can air up four tires from 12psi to 24psi in a reasonable length of time. I have GY MTR's load range E rated at 65psi cold, no maxium pressure is listed, but a hot tire is going to be well above the 65psi. Without any stress on the tire 100psi is reasonable for short periods of time when used as a reservior for a compressor.
