Sup peoples. I am about to fab up a custom rear suspension for the galant. Only thing is I can't figure out how to wire my valves to dogleg. I have my 2 extra valves for the wheel I want to dog leg and I know how to plumb them etc. Just need to know how to wire them to keep everything working normally with my switchbox when Im not doin the dogleg. I know I can actually use a seperate switch to suck the wheel up. So any help would be apreciated. Thankz

on the bottom of the cylinder, there should be a port, just plump it like you would if that was the only port. just when you wire them up, when you have the up valve on the bottom open, the dump valve is open on the top side and visa versa. Ive never done it, thats just how I think it should be done, makes sense to me. If im wrong, then someone please correct me.

Yeah thats kinda what I was thinking to keep everything else working, But when you throw the other switch in for the dogleg is when I get stuck

I have a set of cylinders, I haven't set them up to dogleg but when its plumbed, you shouldn't ride with air on both sides of the cylinder. It'll ride like shit. As far as I understand, plumb the bottom port but you'll have a totally seperate switch only to dogleg. Otherwise the extra set of valves will not be used. You only open the extra set of valves to pull the wheel back into the fender. Hope this makes sense

hopefully we will get some more info. I know Brandon Burell's old crx had dogleg maybe he will pop on her and let us know whats up!

you will have to have a totally extra switch... and that switch has to be so that when u hit up.. it opens the bottom valve to fill and the top to release and when down the top to fill and the bottom to release... get what im sayin.. i can draw a pic if needed.. i believe it is 4 valves for 1 wheel to do it right...

i had dogleg on my civic its not a big deal u have to have 4 vavles to one cylinder just like in the pic Will made u will have to have extra switch's. but in my civic i would dump the vavle on top so there was no air in the cylinder and then fill the bottom vavle and that pushes the cylinder up and the the wheel goes up do u get what im saying?
