wiring and plumbing diagram fro air ride
 
So I'm new to air ride and need some help. trying to get it straight everything that i will be needing to make my own set up.

What I want:
4 Bags (2 Front and 2 Back)
5 Gal Tank with 9 ports - http://www.avsontheweb.com/product.p...cat=328&page=1
(3 1/4” ports, 2 on the side & one on top)
(6 1/2" ports, 4 on the front & 2 on the side)
2 compressors - http://www.avsontheweb.com/product.p...cat=971&page=1
3 Electronic Switches
1 for front, 1 for back & 1 for both
Emergency Backup manual fill valve.

I know that I need all the air line, solenoids(valves), fittings, check valves, pressure switch(s), wiring, gauges, relays, fuses & ????

Please let me know what else I might need! Also Need help with the plumbing and wiring? Not sure what to do with the dumps, how that'll work into wiring I mean, I know what they are for.

What check valves? 8 one way valves or 4 two way or just a valve manifold block like accuair

See this is how uneducated i am with this lol i have no idea what you mean. Kinda thought about the manifold block from accuair but i don't like the push connectors, i like the idea of it being a sealed connection with compression fitting, maybe I could change them out with compression ones though? do you know what kind of switches I would need? haha dpdt? momentary top and bottom nd off in the center?

the push connectors will seal and hold better/longer than compression fittings.
you need two valves and a two way switch per bag. one to fill and one to dump.
personally I would stay away from a manifold with only one exhaust as the front will take less restriction than the rear to control dump.

Wow.. didn't think push fitting would be as good. But what about two way valves? Could I use just one one each bag if they were two way?
