    I think I may have read this entire forum by now, can't remember if I came across a defined answer for this.

    Can I use T fittings for the front and rear pairs of air shocks so I can get away with only needing 4 valves instead of 8? Obviously on cornering or uneven loading the air will transfer from one side to the other, but will this be really noticeable since they're only air shocks and not bags. I know with bags its very noticeable since they're you're only form of suspension.

    I'm going to be putting air shocks all around on my '86 Xtra Cab for a little bit of extra hauling capability along with the minor amount of lift that will come with them. These will be in conjunction with drop spindles/torsions in the front and drop leafs/blocks in the back, probably around a 5/5 drop.

    Thanks

    Being that its accompanied by full suspension id expect a slight difference. With air in them probably wont notice. Empty u might see some body roll. My question is where did u find air shocks for the front! Please do share. Id like the same setup till I can afford tge time for a full bag setup. Mainly I love riding completely on the ground but the ol lady does not so id like to fill them to get me off thr ground a bit.
