Kyle,
my tires are 225/55/17 or 8.86" cross section. I checked the clearance before I removed the bed and I room to spare when completely aired out. wanna buy them?!!

All,
Yep, I was trying to slow down the dump in the video. I plan on using exhaust fittings on the dump valves which will slow down the drop a bit. glad Keith (lolife99) discouraged me from running 1/2" line. talk about hitting hard!!!

I had a tank fitting that I noticed was leaking a bit the first time I fired up the compressor. since I built this system with ease of component removal in mind, it was a test to see how fast I could remove a complete valve setup and fix the problem. after 5 minutes, the leak was fixed. guess I did okay......
