Re: weird airbag problem

In my opinion if you really want to slow the dump speed, use mufflers or speed controls. If i was going to run a 6 valve setup i would use 4 for the front and then 2 for the rear. Since all the weight is in the front you really wont notice that much sway on the rear of your truck if they share the valves on the rear..

(This is just my 2 cents, not trying to start a argument with anyone)

Completely agree, I was just mentioning why I have always heard guys opting for these setups over the gold standard 8 valve.

Re: weird airbag problem

yup... got to admit it is pretty difficult having four switches and four gauges to air each corner up to its ride height... Thanks goodness the quick lube is checking each of our four tires

Wink Re: weird airbag problem

It is unfortunate some use these great forums as a soap box to sell more of their products, "gold standards being set by the one selling the gold" I only hope the inexperienced builders here can see that most of these mods can be accomplished safely and reliably using alternative means to those being "sold"to them. But still it is great to be able to discuss the merits of different ways to accomplish the same goals.
