what size lines and valves does everyone go with on f150. I have a crew cab and going to redo it all to make it move faster and go side to side. i want it to move quick will 1/2in be very quick. i would like for the front to come off the ground dont have to be much just off the ground. also i have some really bad camber going i have stock arms with drop spindles. When you raise it up, the steering wheel turns, and the truck drives terribe at pretty much all heights. any help would be appericated and pics of your setup would be great.

1/2 inch should be good enough dependiing on the valves. some cheaper 1/2 inch valves have smaller diam holes... dont know about hopping off the ground (even a little) unless you have plenty of pressurelike 200+ with a full tank i would think would get it to hop a bit

Those are only good to 160 psi. not gonna hop on that...
As far as i know blitz valves are a good way to go. i dont know there rating off the top of my head, but they have an internal opening the size they say they are at least.
---------as far as ride quality, did you just buy this truck, or do you know the history of it... wheels aligned, ballanced, bent? camber shouldnt be that bad if you have spindles ,,, what is bad camber? maby you are thinking its bad when its not THAT bad.. no offence ( i dont know you or how much you know ...)

i bought it. there are balanced and not bent alignment is probably out. It pulls to the right some and the higher you raise it the more you pulls to the right. the camber isn't terrible but there some, but its wearing the outside of the tires? mostly the right side.

AIM = shit dont by anything from that website even though the prices look good/cheap. you get what you pay for. The valves to go with if you want to hop are 1/2 SMC or Parker Valves. www.suicidedoors.com has the 1/2 smcs for 48.99 I believe. Thats all ive ever ran on my truck, but if you wanna hop on 1/2, get a bottle and a holding tank and put it at like 300 psi and it will get off the ground

on the 1/2 it says 300psi is that not right?

yea sound like the alighnment is way out. no biggie. just figure out where you want ride height to be and get it allighed at that height. scooter is correct. (i'm having a hard time typing everything i want to say in one shot cuz im at work and trying not to get cought...!!! hahahahaaa

if you click on the item and read the spec it said 160 on all four. not sure why they say 300 on the front page........

yea were going to get it alighn after we redo some of it. Would i be better going with like 3/4 or 5/8 stuff instead of the 1/2. How many gallon tanks do must of you run and how many ports are needed for the FBSS? has anyone used to to speed valves that will make it move fast or slow with differnt switches? thanks for the help so far guys.
