    1" lines, 2" valves, and 900psi with a 50gal tank.

    j/k.

    does a smaller line allow for smoother slower depression and airing up the bags?

    yes Smaller line will make goin up slower. 3/8 valves are still fas dropping but
    you can run slow downs on them.

    I've seen folks with 1/2 lines and 1/2 valves and when they drop they drop hard...
    my wifes Mazda has the valves in the rear, and 3/8 lines running to the front and it takes a second or two to get down.

    Yes, I definitely have to be careful airing down, thinking about adding a set of flow controls. Also control for the rear fill, as the 1/2" lines and valves are fast.

    Yeah see thats what I'm expecting with mine when it's a rolling again is it's gonna drop like a rock..
    The thing is if you add slow downs on your exit valves, then you can't bounce. I don't mean Hop but up down up down up down, to appear to bounce, the Mazda goes up perty quick but dropes slow..

    I typically run 3/8" everything. Sometimes 1/4" in the back with a lever setup. And I always run a pipe plug in the dumps with an 1/8" or 3/16" hole drilled in it. I like being able to feather down and cruise 1/2" off the ground.
