Paddle valve speed
We made a vid this morning of a 63 c10 with paddle valves for guys curious as to the speed of lifting and lowering. This truck has a 5.3 with is of course lighter then a small block or even a stock straight six due to the aluminum engine. It also has 2500 dominator bags in front and Airlift 9000 sleeve bags in the rear.
The compressor is a Viair 450c with a 145psi pressure switch installed and a 3 gallon air tank. I hear this statement from alot of guys I run into" I only want to raise it to drive height and then be able to lower it when I park or at shows" I think the paddle valves are perfect for anyone wanting something similar.

Re: Paddle valve speed
Pretty cool to see in action since I've only worked with the electric valves.

Re: Paddle valve speed
Thank you Sir. I've searched and searched and your's might be only one of two manual valve videos on the 'tube. The other was an S-10. Good info here for those considering Paddle Valves.
