It will be a simple set per corner. I will have 5 air bags and 5 cylinders in the bed.

Example,

WHEEL>RAM>LINE>RAM>BAG>TANK

Why 5? Tilt bed of course This one will be different though it will have 1 bag pushing 1 ram, that feeds into (2) other cylinders that lift the bed.

Currently I am researching the life span of the hydraulic cylinder seals, for they will be in constant motion where as most often they stay put, for the fluid does not compress.

DJDAudio, I wondered, I did not know if there was valves to each wheel or what. It make sense how you are doing it now. That will be trick.
