If you're only running ARB lockers, I'd probably prefer not to run a tank, just in case there is a very slight leak in the system. Without the tank, the compressor would almost instantly fire the lockers, in the event the tank isn't pressurized. Although on the other hand, if all is sealed, and your tank is pressurized, you'd almost never have to run the compressor during a day of wheeling turning lockers on and off. My Samurai has ARB lockers and no tank, and I love that I can pressurize the locker solenoids almost instantly.Like 2Wheel-Lee said, and I'll add that you don't need the air tank to run lockers either (just the manifold and solenoid kit). It's really only for that instant boost that's needed for air tools or powering an air horn.
I only installed a tank in my JL for using an air hose to blow dust out of the interior.
