Air ride gauge help

I've got asko valves on my truck and there are no ports to run gauges. What options do I have to hookup gauges. Any ideas or experience is appreciated. I'm fairly new to air ride.

Re: Air ride gauge help

The line running to your bag you just put in a tee fitting and run that to the gauge.

Re: Air ride gauge help

Thats probably what I will be doing. I wanted to use digital gagues to cut down on the extra lines and fittings that could cause leaks but it seems more people prefer the analog gauges. Any Ideas on where to find the fittings for the tee connection? I have half inch air line so I assume that I need a tee with two ends that size and a smaller port for the gauge. Im not sure if they are usually 1/4" or 1/8". All the tee's I can find have the same size opening on all the ends.

Re: Air ride gauge help

Im also considering running dakota digital gauges as well. Would these fittings work to hookup the pressure senders? The red circles are where the lines connect to go to the bags.

Re: Air ride gauge help

The dakota digital senders are 1/8 NPT. I would drill and tap your brass T right where your red circles are. Looks like a perfect spot for the sensors and very easy to do.
