What air line fitting to use for rear bag?
What airline fitting are you guys using for the rear air bag? I was thinking about using a 90* fitting but am not for sure if there is enough room for it to turn in the frame rail. I am running RE7's in the rear of my truck with a c notch and 1/2" line, so the 1/2" line doesn't flex much. Pics?

I used swivel 90° fittings on the rear. Tighten it up & check for air leaks before inserting the fitting in to the hole of the frame ... then you can turn the fitting whatever direction you need it to point.

Re: What air line fitting to use for rear bag?
I used the Legris 90* swivel elbow. Part#-442044, Vender# 3109 60 22. It has a 1/2" NPT end and accepts 3/8" tube. It is a "Push-To-Connect" fitting. It works well and is rated up to 290 PSI. the only thing is I had to order it from Fastenal. They are about $8 ea and only came in a box of ten. It worked out well I ended up using all of them.

It's a 90* swivel with a green prestolok fitting for the air line.

Re: What air line fitting to use for rear bag?
yep, got them at the Parker store, but left the receipt at the shop, again. I also had to buy a bushing to thread into the bag, so I got a 1/2" bushing that threads into a 3/8" Prestolok 90* swivel, but has a 1/2" air fitting to put the plastic line in, because the fitting was sitting too low in the frame to thread into the bag. So the bushing brought it up about 3/4".
