Angry Bags airing up uneven

I have 91 suburban with bags on the front. Just recently the passanger side bag looks like it has less pressure? Ive parked on even ground and checked it I've aired them out all the way and re-inflated and still having the same problem. Why am I uneven!?

Re: Bags airing up uneven

Do you have separate lines to each bag?
Or 1 line with a tee in it?

Re: Bags airing up uneven

you'll need two schrader valves....the T is allowing air to transfer...it would be worse when driving...

Re: Bags airing up uneven

But I've had it hooked up like this for about 5 months with no problems?

Re: Bags airing up uneven

You lucked out then for 5 months...

If you still want to keep the one fill point add a ball valve between one or both of the lines from the T to the bags...open it when filling it then close it so the air can't transfer once the air pressure evens out.....

Re: Bags airing up uneven

That's the bad thing about a T... air is free to move from bag to bag.
