Re: Arnott valves?

You can get cheap 1/4 valves from Grainger as well....being from Grainger, not sure how cheap is cheap...

Never thought I would ever hear people wanting a slow supension system.

Seem like not too long ago, everyone want their suspensions faster and faster. Most guys wanted big lines, high PSI....one click of switch and the front suspension would "snatch" the front tires off the ground. (actual street terminology ) Fads come and go, I guess....

I opted not to because I didn't like the 6 valve system. If it were an 8 valve setup, I would have. After talking to them, it wasn't what I wanted.

I found this on ebay what do you guys think? Looks pretty slick. Any body have any experience with this company, or even hear of them?

and yes, I realize it says 3-5 second rise time. I'm so sick of jarring my head on the roof with my 1/2 valves and line. I want something nice, easy, and classy.

I have the Arnott 8-Port Valve Block on my truck and it works great. The first Valve Block I got from Arnott had problems with valve 1. I contacted them and did some troubleshooting over the phone. It was a bad valve. They send me a new 8-Port Valve Block the next day with a return shipping lab for the bad Valve Block. I would say there customer service is Great. Also I like the 1/4 valves nice and smooth

anyone can correct me if i'm wrong, but i think you don't need any check valves, but you can put one right after or before the fill valve. it's because you're using most of the lines for both filling and emptying the airbag, therefore you need air to go either way in the lines. if you put a check valve right before of after the valves closest to the bags, air will never go out. i could be wrong, but that's what i think. hope this helps

Re: Arnott valves?

I had these 1/2" controls on my truck to slow and silence the dump valves, but removed them so now they are for sale. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...t=dump+control
