if it's just for load control, i would buy two bags, 2 fittings, some air line and 2 schrader valves from ***************** and call it good.

use them like you would air shocks

Re: opinions wanted on using these for rear bags on a '67...

thanks Shane. that's exactly what i'm gonna start with but i feel that at some point i will want to go up and down on the spot.... but that is where a 12v or batttery mini compressor may work for a while!

these "controls" apear to have slow up/down built in.... seem like they would work for what i want.... just waiting for somebody to tell me NOT to use them with bags ony (no steel springs)

not meaning to sound pushy but i would save my money and buy a real compressor, tank and valves once the budget allows ... you won't be happy with the limited duty cycle and the run time of those tiny firestone/thomas compressors.

hope this helps ...
