Re: Air mangment advise
No side to side control means the truck will possibly lean when turning. In a turn the natural weight shift will lift one side while compressing the other. With nothing to stop the air transfer between the sides, it will be worse.

Re: Air mangment advise
Your going to want individual control for each corner in addition to any other switch functions you have (front, back, pancake). That way you can fine tune it if one side fills faster than the other or if your passenger has had to many cheeseburgers.

Re: Air mangment advise
Does a 4 corner control actually send air into the bags to help level the truck when you are cornering? are they really that smart? and responsive?

What Scoti is referring to by 4 corner control is having each bag isolated so you don't have air transfer from side to side. An eight valve system will control each corner individually and not allow your truck to lean excessively in a corner due to air being forced from one side in to the other.
