Anyone just run the airbags in all 4 corners with just a ballvalve or other way. I would like to get 4 bags setup then get the compressor and tank later.

I never have but you can just T your lines together then put a shrader valve on it. Shrader valve is the same thing as a valve stem but with threads on the other side. Just make sure that you dont have any leaks.

I'd suggest a shrader valve on each bag keeping each of the 4 bags seperated independant of another. When you tie two bags together, like both rear bags, air just moves from one bag to the other when cornering, unless you've got a substantial sway bar to counteract this.

Definitely isolate each bag w/a valve of its own, but you can definitely drive it w/out a tank and compressor until you can get them. I've done this for a few months now, but I also keep an air tank in the back just in case.
