manual air ride upgrade

I have a 1/4 manual paddle valve setup on my truck right now and its super slow and looking to update to 3/8. All my bags and the tank are ported for 1/4,can I get 1/4 to 3/8 fittings and airline to make it some what faster or do I need to buy new bags that are ported for 3/8? I like the idea of staying manual valves but would like it to go a little faster.

Re: manual air ride upgrade

I would think you would need new valves, lines and fittings.

Re: manual air ride upgrade

what psi is your pressure switch? not sure if those plastic padfles can handle 175-200 psi but pressure will make a big difference with the lifting speed. if you just switch to a electric valve setup and keep your 1/4" lines you will notice a big difference.
