Manuel way to air up air bags?
 
I haven't ran my hard lines yet and i was curious if there was a way to air them shockwaves up without the air lines hooked up. Maybe a manuel way? I just want a back up plan incase i don't get the hard lines hooked up before hot august nights car show. Thanks

Is there room to just install schraders directly to the ShockWaves? Or you could remove the ShockWaves & install a solid piece of pipe the length needed for the ride height.

I didn't think about that. In my business we use these copper tubes with schraders valves in them. i could just weld them to a fitting that threads into the shockwave. Thanks for the idea!

That would certianly get the job done but the ensuing visits to the doctor with back trouble might get a little old after a while.

No I won't be able to drive it (I wish). I am wanting an easy way to get it onto the trailer withouts scratching the frame. When fully deflated i am only 1.5" from the ground. Thanks for your help

We sell some killer little stubby Schrader valves that have 1/4 NPT on the ends. They are even nickle plated for s clean looking finish. Let me know if you want some as you're only 2 days aways UPS ground, or I'd go USPS which is just as fast but cheaper.
