Re: air line size

3/8" max.
1/2" is too fast.

Re: air line size

I ran 1/2" on the tank side of the valve block and 3/8" from the valve block to the bags.

Re: air line size

does anyone run 3/8 for the front and 1/4 for the rear since theres less weight in the rear, so the lift speed would match?

Re: air line size

I'm running 1/2" all around. However, my tank only has 3/8" outlets. I was scared about them being too fast, so I plumbed in flow controls. I don't know if just the 3/8" out of the tank is slowing it down or the flow controls are because with the controls wide open it's perfect in my book...Fast enough to look "cool", but still slow enough so I can control the height with ease.

Re: air line size

I had to slow the front down a bunch running half in all the way. Ended up using a plug and drilling a 3/16" hole in the center of it on the dump valve.

Re: air line size

I ran all 1/2" in my '69 and there was no stopping it from all up to all down. I installed dump and fill adjusters and was able to dial it in well.
