    I have a question about running my airlines. the way its set up now it has two lines running to the front and two lines running to the back there are T fittings that split the lines from the tank one t sends air to the left front and rear and other T splits for the right side... my question is rather then running two lines , can you run one airline to the front and one line to the back and then split them closer to the bags with a T ? eliminating alot of the extra hose from running them separate.

    yes you can or instead of separating all the valves run them in sets of 4's with a block T in between the 2 fill valves DV T FV T FV T DV DV- dump valve, FV- fill valve, T- block t... the center t comes from your tank and the outer 2 go to your bags, do a set in front and rear

    You will get better handing & be much happier with not using a T between left & right sides @ front & rear. The T allows the air to shift ( move ) from side to side,causing poor handing & unsafe ride!
    2-valves per corner & 4 air lines feeding ,2 to left side front /rear,2 to right side front / rear. This is the right way to set your air ride up!!
    And please do not use plumping pipe & fittings!!:cool:

    whats your valve setup? if you have 4 sets of valves you can do the T for up front then ten have your valves for left/right front after the T to stop the air transfer. this will allow you to have side to side control up front.

    Same goes for the rear, or you can do 1 set of valves before the T and just have up and down in the rear. no side to side control.

    I'm just running my lines through the frame. you have holes in the frame at all four corners, which makes it MUCH simpler to run AND route the lines. it is also easier not having to run a single line just to split is and have to route to either side of the engine once it is at the front.
