I can't take credit for this, it's an old Granville King tip. I used it with my Detroit locker, having perfectly balanced pressure between tires makes auto lockers behave much better. Basically you put an inflation end on both sides of an air hose and put it on two tires at the same time. In the pics you can see I have one hands-free end so I can do it by myself. They balance out exactly to each other. If you really want to go for it jack the vehicle off the ground first. Another use is for emergency air, fill your spare to 50 or 60 psi (but let some out if you have to run it!!). If you get a flat you can plug it and hook the flat tire up to your spare, they'll both end up with about 25-30 psi, and you have a fixed tire and a spare that's still good to go.
