What are the pros/cons of running one switch to control the rear two bags???? I am mocking up my system right now and have had good results with one line "T" out to the two bags...Will this have any bad effects on ride quality or will it be ok??? Any info would be great!! -COS
Trucks are all plumbed that way. Will not inflate or deflate as fast but will be fine for most things. Just wont be able to make it hop.... Mark
Thanks for the reply...I have heard that you can get some sway out of a set up like that....Being that it is not independent....Is there any truth to this???
No way man, if you don't make them independant of each other when you go around a coroner the pressure will transfere and lean twice as much...not a good feeling.
the biggest problem is air transfer around turns and cornering. depending on what kind of setup is keeping your rear located, it can be done just fine. If your running a 4 or 3 link that allows the rear to articulate then i would recommend running the bags idepedently. However, if you run a 2 link(trailing arm, ladder bar) setup, it will work just fine since the rear does not articulate in the same way as a 4-link, thus causing less body roll under cornereing. if you are set on running just 2 for the rear....then definatly look into a stiff sway bar and a good set of shocks. both will help a lot
This is the way to go...bags can be mushy anyway, the last thing you want is one drooping and one pushing on a turn.
Like Grunion said, just run 2 sets of valves(set=1 up, 1 down) in the front, and that will prevent any swaying. I say the front, bc that's where all the weight is, so you'll want them up there.
true not as bad as if it were in the front if you can aford independant valves do so its safer if you lose a bag the whole *** end is on the ground also you have better ajustment in ride hight ive seen cars raise crooked that were teed off you made it sound like you just wanted to wire each corner to one switch ive done them before were up was independant and down was hooked to the same switch bottom line independant is safer period
Unless you are running very large lines air transfer will not be a problem. it will take several seconds to transfer any noticable amount of air and unless you are running in circles you will be out of the turn by then. when you use 1 switch to control 2 or more valves, you will get uneven inflation because of line legnths and bends in the lines. you may not notice it right away but eventually with with several up and down cycles the effect will be ***ulative. Unless you completely deflate the system to equalize them periodically
