    Just because I noticed it and i'm sorta mad at myself for letting it happen, I want to make sure i'm right in thinking I set these up wrong.

    The middle goes to the tank, left goes to bag, and right dumps. Are these set up right? Both valve arrows point right, so I am thinking that the left valve should point left, since the flow goes left out to the bag...

    The valves act correct as far as dump/lift but the dump does stick open a but I think, and makes a barking noise at high psi that the front doesn't do but then again sometimes the front dump dumps one corner and not the other. Not sure if its the valves, or the wiring. Everything is grounded with a self tapping screw... 2 sets of valve per ground.

    video of the valve noise.

    ***oh, dont mind the mismatch connections, they will all match once finished and have heatshrink over them.

    welp, forget the valve orientation....it was correct to begin with. still dont know why they bark/hold open at high pressure.

    mine was setup with the bag in the middle. air in from the left, and dump on the right. truck would rise and drop crazy fast!

    mine isnt that fast with shocks in the back. just need to figure why these valves stick open sometimes!!! especially at high pressure!
