question about valves

is it true that if u put each valve close to each bag its going to work will it make ur bags faster? and does anyone have a video of a mini with a basic 3/8 bag set up so i can see how fast mine is going to be ?

yes it will make it faster cause the air doesnt have to travel as far

thats what i was thinking thanks alot man

Just a thought,,,,unless you have an air tank in the front of the truck, the air has to travel through the same amount of airline whether the valves are in the front of the truck or in the rear. Just a thought

You will get tired of 1/2 valves very quick when you try to lower the front slightly while driving and the front drops to the ground with a flip of the switch! 3/8 or smaller is where it's at unless you want to hop it.

I had to put 1/2 to 1/4 reducers in my dump valves for the front so it wouldn't drop so fast. And i have fill controls on all four wheels.

I am going with a 3/8s manifolded valve setup (FBSS).

well im going to run 3/8 i was just told that and i didnt know if it was true or not. and my truck is a daily driver and i was also told that putting the bags on top of the axle is the best way to go with comfort. is this true?

ok, if you put the valves on the the bags it will move faster. although you are still running line to the bag the line is going to the valve on the bag is going to be storage versus mounting the valve on the tank. only if it is mounted on the tank will it have to travel to the bag and then when you dump it, all the line will be empty out of the line as well. which means you use less air by mounting the valves on the bags and it will also be faster. make sense?

go with 1/2" fill and 3/8 dump. i run 1/4 reducers on the rear and 1/8 reducers on the front for the dumps. it makes it drop slower and drag easier. i like it to drop slow and lift fast.

as for mounting the bags on the axle, no it is not more comfortable. if you want comfort go with bag over bar and an re7 for the rear.

Bag placement is preference entirely, I have 3/8 valves and lines, and I LOVE the speed of mine, SO PERFECT!, I have bags behind under axle, I think it rides flawless, especially with shock, I am using slam specialties bags, I had bag over axle on my yota and it wasnt bad at all, as long as I had shocks, A lot of people will tell you bag on bars is more comfort, But I have rode in both, And I see really no difference, Is entirely up to you on bag placement

If it is any corolation, I have Slams RE-8's in the rear...

how do you like the re8s? i am installing re7s with all new brackets now. mine also rides great with bag over axle just a little role do to it being a 50/50 4 link that i can't wait to get rid of!
