I will be attempting my first bag build and I have looked up diagrams on how to run my lines and everything. I understand how everything needs to be connected, but is it a good idea to only have on fill valve and one dump valve to both year bags, and then one fill and one dump for the dront bags? Just want it to lift front and rear, not side to side. I was thinking if I made the lines same size I could get away with it, then put a check valve to each bag. Sounds solid, or no?

 

it would work, but when you make a corner the air will transfer to the outside bag and make the truck lean hard.

if you're going for budget i'd recommend each front bag having it's own fill/dump, and then doing a T in the rear.

 

That is what the check valve will take care of. No transfering of air from bag to bag. That sounds better? Lol

 

well wouldn't the check valve be before the fill valve? which puts it before the T. if ya put it on the lines to each bag it wouldn't dump period.

 

Haha I am such an idiot. Totally didn't even think about that. Sounds like it would be better if I just get a fill and dump for each bag. Might think about a 4 link instead of 3 too. How does a 3 ride?

 

yeah man just do a fill and dump for each, you'll be much happier even if you never hit sides.

as long as a link setup is setup properly it will ride just like a 4 link. i'm doing a 3 link wishbone on my hilux.

 

I want to run two links on the bottom, with the top link setup with two bars going into one at the axle, and being connected to another tube in the center that is threaded for an adjustable bushing. Then I will have a rounded tube about 1/3 of the way down the entire link to gusset it. Nice, clean, and simple.

 

thats pretty much exactly what i did.

 

Wow, that looks awesome! Yes basicly that is what I will be going for. I don't like the look of a 3 link that has on bushing connected to the frame and then the two others to the axle.
