what is every one with bags running for air systems

Do you have a build thread or a thread with more info on your setup? This sounds exactly like what I want to do...

you can do it a lot easier with some Firestone paddles and you can still use the reserve tank the way he describes. just make sure you dont think there is a weeks or a days or even more than a single use amount of air in the tank. one lift would be about it.


I like your valve DLOE65, but they looks as slow as Firestone paddles...

I did mine this way to keep the cost down, after I finally get the ride height settled where I am going to keep it then it can be easily changed to a more complicated system.


air tank on side of frame

1. 1 line coming in from a schrader valve (located on rear lisc plate bracket)
this line allows the tank to be filled up from a compressor (in my garage)

2. coming out of the tank 1 line coming out to a air control valve(12v electric operated (normally closed----opens when toggle switch is lifted up this adds air to the bags and raises the truck)

3. inline behind the 1st valve is another 12v valve that is used to let air from the bags (when the toggle switch is pushed down it exhausts air--lowers the truck)

4. also in line with the line that contains the 2 valves is another schrader valve that can be used to add air to the bags in case of you need to air the bags up manually.

If you will send me a PM with your phone number & email I will take some shots of it this weekend on my iphone and send them to you. Kieth


here is a link to my build , this link only shows the bags as we installed them initially, later we took out one set of the cages......
