    wow, i guess i was a little rough there..:eek:
    I kinda look at it as use what you have or can get within your means and make it work, or wait it out and test it if you can afford to , someday I might throw a set of those small airbags just to see what the difference is, I set the chassis up to use either ,if down the road i change my mind or want a different ride

    Just like springs, air bags need to be the correct size for the load they will carry or the ride will be stiff.

    Smaller air lines or restrictors prevent air moving from side to side very fast in a T system. By far the best system is a ride height valve at each bag and an on board compressor capable of supplying air to individual bags.

    Preacher meet choir. I've installed 100-200 bags a year in past years. Every one has its own set of valves.

    Tee's are for selling at the shop booth, at shows. 100% cotton, for sure.
