Direct feed

Has anyone done a direct feed on their air ride set up.... I thinking of just running a front bag set up.... How a new car would be. I don't know it the newer compressors have any thing like a blow back on them or the compressors off a roadmaster or town car would just burn up..

Re: Direct feed

I'm not familiar with the compressors off a vehicle, but I don't think running this type of set up is worth the effort. You'd still have to plumb some type of valve for letting air out and then you either have to have an overly complicated set up so air doesn't transfer from bag to bag or run 2 separate compressors. The last issue would be the amout of time it would take for the comp to air up the bag to the desired pressure. I would plumb a shrader valve to each bag and then up grade to an electric valve set up with tank or a manual valve set up at a later time.

Re: Direct feed

It would be a really slow system. I have a philosophy about suspension systems. Do it right, and do it once.
