Front Set Up: slam specialties re-6 1/2 single port, 1/2" hydarulic hose, 1/2" valves. Giving it 200psi, from being on the frame to hittin the up switch it kind of goes up then it really goes up. so it hesitates initially to go up. WTF is the prob. Can anyone help?

WE need more info, like type of truck or car, motor, what type of valves, whats the PSI rating on them, what type air are you using.

also how close are valves to the bag? the closer they are the faster.

have 2000 gmc sierra, v6, runnig nitrogen, 250 psi vlaves, the rear has same set up and almost hops with 200psi. The valves have 5 feet of hydraulic hose between the bags and valves. the bags are not fully compressed with the wheels i have on it, but also switched to wheels cups are desinged for and same problem, so its not the bags being compressed.

i've had mine both, at the bag and at the tank, the difference would need to be in milliseconds, not really worth it being the cause of a problem.. i hope that doesnt sound smartassy
