Wouldnt have thought it strong enough, it is designed to inflate the airbags and keep them topped up occasionally.  They have a high fail rate just doing that.

I recently helped a friend do something similar using an air con compressor to provide air and a diving tank for storage, uses a switch in the cab to actuate the compressors clutch and uses a safety valve to prevent over pressurising the tank. Provides enough air to re inflate his 35"simex tyres takes about 4 minutes to fill tank from empty.

Thats the way to go, york compressor from an old volvo and make the system up from there.

I think the only problem you might get using a suspension compressor is that they are made for short use, not constant use like for 16mins reinflating 4 tyres.
