Anyone using Manual Valves for Bags?

Does anyone have an airbag setup that uses manual valves? I wan't to eventually do an airbag setup on my truck, and thought that would be kind of different.
The vavles I have in mind are the ones for air operated lifts. It is a lever type valve that has a source, fill, and dump all in one.
Whenever I finally do this I want to permanantly mount them on/in a center console. Maybe have it dump right through the floor or out the side of the cab.

The only downside that I could think of is that you would have to run air lines through the cab. I want to keep things simple. I appreciate what switches and solenoids can do, but it would somthing different. Anyone done or seen this?

I have seen them before. They looked pretty industrial. I guess if that's what you want to see in your truck it might be cool....

My first bag setup had manual MIC valves. They worked great if your not looking for speed. The only other draw back is having all of the air lines running into the cab. A F,B,S,S setup has too many lines going into the cab.
