---------------------------------------------Originally posted by VICS22WHAT IF THE VAVLES ON THE RIGHT ARE CLOSER TO THE BAGS THAN THE ONES ON THE LEFT,WOULD THAT MATTER..---------------------------------------------yes, this will make a difference the closer valves are to the bags the faster response you are going to get. so if the valves are not the same lenght away from the bag you will get different response times just like the air line being different lenghts. this could very possibly be your problem.

your airline would have to be another car length longer to make that much of a difference at all, same with the valve, basically if you dont have one valve plumbed at the bag and one in the back of the car, dont worry about it, looked for a kinked line also make sure your valve is opening all the way

mine does it to and my shit is all the same length and valves are same distance away . . . . . it just happens deal with it

i dont knw but i wonder if you have new or tight control arm bushings or balljoints on one side if it could slow it down from the extra tension or friction. dont know if i would make a difference. just a thought

i just replummed my truck with 1/4 line and now no worries everything komes up nice and slow and in a uniform manner. . . . . . 1/2 inch shit way over rated to fast!!!

You sure its not one of your valves sticking open a little bit longer on one side? Its happened to me

I think it is because you have air bags.

^^ WOW........ you only need 4 valves for the entire truck, sides are over rated (unless you need it for heavy drivers/passengers) sounds like an air displacement issue to me.....

Try moving the valves around from one side to the other and see if there is a difference. If you are using a 6 prong on/off/on switch it may be that one side of the switch is engaging slightly before the other making one side seem slightly faster. I had this issue on my old truck running a cheap 10 switch box, if I hit the switch for the front one side would sit higher than the other but if I raised the front using the two individual front switches it would move evenly. Keep us posted on what you find out.

I was fixing to say check your switch. I had this same problem, it was a bad switch. one side would jump up just a split second before the other.
