i had 4 on my s10. i noticed it up front without shocks up front, but i had the sway bar. i was gonna do 6 valves hearing it would prevent the swaying/body roll/looseness but got a good deal on 8, so i'm in doing those soon.

/\ /\  if you don't want any control over your dumps that would work........ I had four on my old daily fullsize, and never had a problem with roll, i had the stock sway bar and shocks on all four corners. Like Chris said it depends on the shocks and what not

^^^ what would be the need for that first fill vave? fill all 4, if it's connected to all the other 4 fill valves?

without the 1st valve if you hit the dump it would empty your tank. it would work but its overcomplicated to me

---------------------------------------------Originally posted by idrgbdy^^^ what would be the need for that first fill vave? fill all 4, if it's connected to all the other 4 fill valves?---------------------------------------------It gives you control over each bag, but you can't raise and lower at the same time. You can either raise 1-4 bags or lower 1-4 bags. To raise it, the fill valve will open and the valve that is next to the bag or bags will open. If you want to lower it, then the dump valve will open and the valve next to the bag or bags will open. You can't have the fill and dump valve open at the same time because it would just dump the air.

^^ the first fill valve is there so that when you hit the dump your not dumping air from your tank too atleast thats my under standing anyway, but as for Brandon's question it looks like you could have control of your fill and dump but it would be all on how you wire it because you will have to actually have two valves opening ever time you fill or dump ( either the main fill or main dump plus the valve to the individual bag that you were wanting to control), and like I said thats just my understanding of it, I might be wrong because i have never saw anyone set it up this way. Has anyone actually ran this setup on their truck before without problems??

With that setup pictured you would be basically dumping the pressure off the back of the fill valves and letting the air backfeed through them. It could work.... Another way would be to set it up like a hydro setup but you would need check valves,  1 lift valve for the front, 1 lift valve for the rear, Tee them off into individual corner check valves and then run your individual dumps off those. But for the price of the check valves you could just run 8 valves,  Unless you can get check valves for nothing.

do you need a special check valve made for air? or can you use hydro ones?

has anyone ever ran 2 fills 1 for each bag and 1 dump for both bags, so in total you'll have 4 fills and 2 dumps that would be 6 valves. just a thought donno how good it would work
