Airbag setup help needed... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

All right, i've pieced together a setup that i hope will work for my blazer. I have 2 - 4 port 5 gallon tanks, and 8 valves. I was looking at the suicide doors page for setup but they don't have one for 2 tanks. There pic also shows a tank pressure gauge. Is a tank gauge necessary? If so, does it matter which tank i hook it up to? My pic shows how i hope to run it. The green would be the compressor. How could i hook up the tank pressure and pressure switch? And, would i need two check valves?

just like mine..works fine but your compressor is on borrowed time because it takes so long to fill both tanks it wont last long...I fill at the house now because mine pooped out...you should get 2 or mabe 3 dump/fills..one tank switch will work for both

My blazer is set up like the first picture. I'm running a york to fill both tanks.

i found a couple of 2.5 gallon tanks local here. I probably get those instead of the 2 -5 gallons ones. What size pressure switch is normally run?

depends on your compressor..any where from 120 to 230 lbs
