Re: Air Ride List. What else do I need?

Point well taken about the line sizes and speed. I am going to stay with the leaf spring rear-end so my choices on bags are somewhat limited. The Air-Over-Leaf systems with tapered bags are about my only choice. Most of the bags I have seen with these systems have a 1/4" inlet. Based on what you suggested, I may go with larger valves and lines and reduce just before I get to the bag.

As far as the deflated rear height goes, when the vehicle is sitting on the springs, it is as low as it will go (without hitting a bump of course). I am thinking about 8 or 9 inches of total drop in the rear. I already have about 7" with the flip and re-arched springs and will probably add some blocks to get it down the extra couple of inches.

Thanks a lot for your input. I will check out the Slam bags a little more and see what else they have for my application.
