Is there any reason specifically NOT to run a truck on bags with only schrader valves? No on board air system? Seems like that pretty much would kill all of your worries Steve. It would also allow me to give them a try and see if I really like the ride of bags and if I want to invest the additional cash to finish the system. If I don't like it I would rather be selling 2XX dollars worth of stuff and not 2XXX dollars of stuff.
Also, if lines are such a problem with bursting and the such, why not put a manual valve immediatly after the bag and before anything else. This way if you are taking a trip or you are worried about the long haul you could easily reach under and close the manual valve and you are set.
Unless airbags are really easy to blow, I just don't see how you can blow one without knowing you have a problem before.
I guess I am an optimist. Everyone before told me that putting a LS1 and a six speed in my truck was going to be a huge nightmare and un-reliable. Honestly it has been everything else that has broken and had problems definatly not the LS1/T56 setup. I don't do anything half a$$. But I DO everything on a tight budget. I think there is a big difference. I have never believed that if you spend X amount of cash on something that makes it quality. It's a combination of everything you put into a project: planning, time, and of course funding.
