I'm not sure if this has been done so no bashing, but I'm not a fan of the valve stem removal systems and the adjustable screw-ons f--king suck. Just my opinion on Viair's air down tool, it's not the fastest but fast enough and spot on. Just in case y'all are shopping. Plus, not everybody is going from 37/38 to 8. If your going from say 35 to 15 psi then it's probably 4:?? min per tire. Everybody has their own preferences, just wanted to let y'all know.

I haven’t used that one but we have the arb and it’s significantly faster. Does it have the ability or collar that needs to be pulled back to speed things up?

This was with a 37" Patagonia on Black Rhino Crawler Beadlock. Like I said, if anybody is shopping tools, here's some info to base your decision.

I think I had the collar fully engaged. It's not the fastest but when I used others I would have to time me searching to engage the valve stem.

The Patagonias are awesome. Great on the trail and ridiculously quiet on the road. Just pulled my camper from TN to CO/UT and back on them and they didn't disappoint.

I have this Boulder Tools version https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075G1LJQ1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 which I’m guessing is similar to the ARB. It’s fast and seems to be well-made.

My YJ has these Trail Ready rapid deflators. https://www.straptperformance.com/Trail-Ready-Rapid-Air-Down-Tire-Deflator-p/trw-tr-500.htm They are incredible. 10-15 seconds to air down a tire.
Yeah, I think Teraflex even sells a wheel with deflators built in. There are a bunch of great ways, I didn't know if some people were looking at these.

I like the Staun type deflators, but they can be a pain to get calibrated (accurately or consistently across the four.)

Screw 'em on and look at the JLWFs on your phone while you wait.

I didn’t even know they existed until I bought my YJ that already had them installed. Worth the money if you wheel a lot. I’m glad the PO installed them. Ha.
