Air bag geometry
Hi guys i had to change my screen name, from bagged68 to fastbagged68. I just got 4 1/2" parker valves for my truck. I want to raise it fast and let it drop slow. I have 3/8" valves now and it drops fast enough. Thats why i have only 4 parker valves. My question is at ride height are your front bags square or are they bigger on one side. right now mine are bubbled bigger towards my tire and smaller towards crossmember. i was told by Aftermarket (www.got20s.com) that the bags need to be square. is that how your guys bags are?

I've heard that they are supposed to be as square as possible, but if they are a little off, it's not a big deal. I've got mine set up so they are pretty close to square. Of course my truck isn't on the road yet, so I guessed at where I wanted the ride height. Therefore, I may have to do a little adjusting once I get it all together.

slammed67 how fast does your frame get up? I know you dont have your body on it? What size valves do you have and how are your lines ran?

My brackets are slightly off too. Been that way for almost 3yrs. Don't hurt it. I run 150psi valves, 9 gal spin tank, 1600psi Co2 tank (i hate those annoying compressors), 3/8" line, a valve at each bag, and it gets off the ground with all 4 switches to max height in about 3-5 sec, depending on the pressure in the bottle. Ther is pics of my toys in sig.

Well, with no body on it, the back end jumps right up when the tanks are at full pressure.... 1 second or less. The front takes a couple seconds at the most. I've had the bed, cab and front fenders on it temporarliy and didn't affect the rear bag speed much.... front was slower though. It's faster than I need it to be.
