Re: what air bags are you running?

I can only think of a few of reasons to have dual port bags:

1) someone building a ride that they can "hop". You could run twice as much air to the bags as a single port bag. see this video:
2) seperate lines for lift and dump valves?

3) or one for airline for lift/dump, other port for pressure gauge sensor. it may help simplify the plumbing.

I personally dont understand the needs, but then again my needs are simple: lift the truck to drive, and drop it when parked.

Re: what air bags are you running?

I guess if you're wanting a "hopper" dual ports would be good. More air volume pumped into the bag. Not really my bag and I've seen these trucks bounce 3 inches off the ground with single port bags with 1/2 inch lines.

Re: what air bags are you running?

dual ports are often used in industrial applications (where our bags originated) to provide separate intake and exhaust access.
