well im running 1/2" fills and 3/8" dumps i love how slow it dumps. i would switch them but i sdont know if it would be slow enough, because there is a 3/8" port on the bag and its still fast...

Ball valves, Lowes, $10.

do they hook up to hoses or fittings. what size?

You can get them with 1/4" up through 1/2" NPT at Lowes without special ordering anything. Its female end on most of them, so if you just get some close nipples it will fit up, or get some reducer nipples if you want to use a smaller ball valve than the valve you're running. This is what I plan on doing when I get my truck back. And they are stiff enough not to open or close more on your from driving. At least not for a few years. Lol.

I had the same problem with my truck. I was running 1/2 everything at 145psi and it was going up way to fast. If i air the rearend up first it would hop bout 1/2 of the ground. I reduced the line down to 1/4 and put reducers in my dump valves. Just putting some .30 cent reducer in the dump valves will make a difference.

what type of rear setup are you running? my blazer did that when I had monos, and so did my isuzu. I had 2600's over axle with 1/2" line and 1/4" ports. links setups tend to air up alot smoother and slower. I know it got alot more controlled when I linked my Zu

the ball valves can be a backup too. If you ever have a valve leak...just close it off here and go home.

I dont know about you guys but I like that my setup is quick. I run RE-7 slams over the axle and run the back valves directly off the tank. There is literally a foot of line between the bag and the valves. To top that off im not running shocks. I run air to 175 and can get the suma bitch to do crazy things. My solution to the matter is to run nitrogen.... just kidding. I hit back corners to lift up and its not as violent for me atleast....
