We have one on the back of our F-350, neat idea but the tires keep the coupler covered in mud/salt so it is always bad. Ours is a factory made unit (no label on it, sorry) and has a very heavy retractable hitch made into it as well. It is easier to just throw a air bomb in the back than it is to fight that thing. We took a old skell gas bottle and made into a air tank, we use it to air up small tractor tires so a couple little truck tires should be duable.

MY buddy used to run one on his old CJ. I believe he custom made it (pretty good fabricator). it was a great idea and we got a TON of use out of it, until one trip, playing on some Rocks up at Cow Mt. Smashed in a chunk, put a small hole in it... needless to say it didn't hold air too good after that. just get one of those portable tanks or compressors and throw it in that huge storage space trucks come with (i.e BED).They make all sorts of tank and what not with special mounting brakets and all. Its cheaper and you wont have to worry about hurting your bumper. Also warn has that new tricked out winch that doubles as an air compressor. Just my 2 cents.
