i have always used 8 valves but was thinkin on just 6 to save a little room in my hot rod ..just T it together ..ne1 see a big difference if i did it just in the rear and did individual in front ?    i heard it would kind of lean funny when cornering ?  any experiences...  thanx

My truck is T'd off in the rear and I hate it. I plan on changing it soon. I don't like not being able to have full ride height control. Plus it does feel kinda loose with the shared air.

One of my rangers is on 4 valves T'ed front and rear with shocks on all 4 corners and still has a sway bar on the front and its really not bad at all other than lifting and dumping a little slow when compared to my other ranger with 8 valves. Its also only 3/8 line and 3/8 valves and the other is 1/2 all around. Guess it really depends on the car and the type of suspension and also the weight of the vehicle.

I hated my van t'd off. It was so loose on the highway even with a sway bar. It was fine around town but at highway speeds it was not fun. The only way i solved the issue was to rasie the vehicle up to ride height and pinch the lines off with a snap on rubber hose clamp. ( i used all 3/4 inch goodyear insta-grip rubber lines ) I just did this on long trips. I sold the van before I could run 8 valves. My suggestion would be to run individual valves. just my 2 cents.

i run 6 on my truck and my wife runs 6 on her trailblazer. 4 on the front and two out back

you feel it more on the trailblazer due to the weight but not bad if you have a good set of shocks.

I went from 8 to 6 on my Accord wagon and I didn't notice a difference. So I did 6 again on my S10, but I haven't driven it yet.

you can have six valves and still be able to control each wheel independently. just a matter of how you connect them.

I have been running 6 on my truck since 02 never had a problem with it
