With a 4 gallon air tank, running air impact tools would be no problem. Probably would want to change out to 3/8" airline maybe instead of the 1/4" I have. Still, I think you would easily be able to run an impact wrench or griner as much as needed with this setup.
As far as inflating tires, while there is probably room for larger tanks under the truck, I don't think it would be of much use, you aren't going to get a large enough tank under the truck to handle all six tires. At some point you just have to let the compressor run and fill.
One thing I did setup was a Y splitter that I can plug to my connections on the truck. I then have two hoses and can fill two tires at a time. I also have the connectors that stay connected once on and a pressure regulator. The beauty of this is that the tires will be exactly the same pressure. I can employ this on the dually's as well. The idea being that I can just connect the tires and walk away for a while. The pain in airing tires isn't so much the time it takes but holding rather holding the connector on the valve stem.
