Hi Mate,
The T-max is a excellent Air compressor, keep an eye on the temp of the unit, let it cool a bit if needed.
Air jacks are real easy, but make sure you run a nice thick bit of canvas or carpet under it when in use. It's not too hard to punch a hole in them when under pressure. That's why I chose to go with a hi-lift jack instead, A bit more work, but bullet proof, and if you are real keen, can be used as a winch as well!
If you don't have Hi-lift jacking points on bars and sidesteps you can get a sling thingy which hooks into the holes on your wheels and allows the jack to pull from there
Have fun!!

OK I'll admit "Sling Thingy" is a bit vague!

Just been in my shed, the sling is a Lift-Mate LM100. Made by the Hi-Lift Jack company. www.hi-lift.com

I use it a lot to lift my rig up onto the jackstands when I'm working on the car in the carport, way easier the the bottle jack

stupid question coming up - how would that help if you had a puncture?
