Re: Air Ride Setup Idea.
U can have a 6 valve, even a 4 valve set up with no air transfer. All u need to do is run a check valve before the bags and that will prevent the air from returning. Take a look at this pic...( not mine) found it on a previous thread.

Re: Air Ride Setup Idea.
The best place for the check valve would be closest to the bag, that will keep the bag aired up in case of hose failure.

Re: Air Ride Setup Idea.
N2TRUX you are correct ,theres a million variables. Im sure a burban with worn out suspension could get some good body roll in the back.
I personally think 8 valves is the only way, but i started with 4 on my first truck and had minimal roll in the rear . thats just my experience. Assuming its a chevy truck with a properly setup rear 4link.

Re: Air Ride Setup Idea.
i guess if you wanted to you can do about anything with a bucket full of tees, fittings, and check valves.
what are we talking about $100 difference between a 6 valve setup and an 8 valve setup?? im guessing $40 per valve, 20 ft extra hose at $1 a foot retail, and a couple of fittings. I know every penny counts i'm on a tight custom budget too.

Re: Air Ride Setup Idea.
I totally agree and have put my mind stuck at a 8 valve setup and just going to hold off would be the right way to go about it and have it done correctly all at once.
