Dump controls

I just bought my first bagged truck, and after a week or so of having it I am thinking about getting dump controls for the front. It has 3/8 dumps on it but for some reason it seems like I hardly tap the switch and they fully dump. They seem really touchy compared to the rear because of the extra weight from the engine.
Does anyone else use dump controls? And they say they have a built in silencer, how much do they silence the valve?

i have then on the front of mine, they work real well and they do quiet it down alot

Can't you just go to Home Depot and buy a couple 3/8" ball valves?

Something like this?

Or gate valves (for a faucet), or screw valve, Those are GREAT to use.



Me...I like earthquakes in Louisiana.

bro, just go get some reducers, they are cheap. i am running 1/2" to 1/8" reducers on the front of mine for a nice smooth slow drop. paid like 2 bucks a piece for them at lowes. for the rear i am running 1/2" to 1/4" reducers. i like it to go down slow and smooth, but up fast and violent. haha.

All of the above ideas are great and will save you some cash!

I would personally pick up some mini ball valves....Cheap and adjustable!

you can also buy a plug and drill a hole it it.

Use a plug and start with a small hole, adjust as needed.

Take it out of the valve before drilling the hole larger.

after i saw mazdawgs post i was going to say the same as twisted. and start with the front, because if you drill the hole to big you can always throw that on the rear.
