Exclamation wiring and plumbing diagram fro air ride

So I'm new to air ride and need some help. trying to get it straight everything that i will be needing to make my own set up.

What I want:
4 Bags (2 Front and 2 Back)
5 Gal Tank with 9 ports - http://www.avsontheweb.com/product.p...cat=328&page=1
(3 1/4” ports, 2 on the side & one on top)
(6 1/2" ports, 4 on the front & 2 on the side)
2 compressors - http://www.avsontheweb.com/product.p...cat=971&page=1
3 Electronic Switches

Emergency Backup manual fill valve.

I know that I need all the air line, solenoids(valves), fittings, check valves, pressure switch(s), wiring, gauges, relays, fuses & ????

See this is how uneducated i am with this lol i have no idea what you mean. Kinda thought about the manifold block from accuair but i don't like the push connectors, i like the idea of it being a sealed connection with compression fitting, maybe I could change them out with compression ones though? do you know what kind of switches I would need? haha dpdt? momentary top and bottom nd off in the center?

Re: wiring and plumbing diagram fro air ride

the push connectors will seal and hold better/longer than compression fittings.
you need two valves and a two way switch per bag. one to fill and one to dump.
personally I would stay away from a manifold with only one exhaust as the front will take less restriction than the rear to control dump.

Wow.. didn't think push fitting would be as good. But what about two way valves? Could I use just one one each bag if they were two way?
