naa i dont have any on my setup and never had any prob's.... i dont have any controls ether you dont NEED them but it is better if you want it to be ( just right ) i just learned how to hit the switches litely and set it down softly, and i like the up being really fast...never know when there may be a dead dog in the road you got to get over in a hurry

I was thinkin bout running the dump pressure to the intercooler sprayer

lol, when I read air shocks, I was like WTF? lol

Are you using pipe dope or teflon wrap?

a tool I would reccomend would be a proper tubing cutter, hardware /plumbing stores have em , its just nicer and faster ya dont have a crushed line to stuff in yer fitting that way.

Its a cheap ratcheting tool used on PEX water lines.

I was thinkin bout a self relieving water trap, I will def want the water out of the lines .
Plastic and brass aint gonna rust but water is part of air period, and if you compress air.........even paint shops in the desert run air dryers, lol

I hear that the valves can be damaged by water , I have to worry about freezing in the winter storage season too, so water expands as it freezes, the rest you can use your imagination, lol

im thinking of using the teflon wrap(tape) , yeah i may disassemble my set up and bring everything inside for the winter season

i have had many friends have sticky valves and rust in the tank wich can clog valves faster. you could also have mosture inside the bag wich eventually cerode them not likely but it may happen the reason for the water traps is to prolong efectivness of the air ride parts and to keep them clean on the inside. even if you dont hit puddles or drive in the rain there is still mosture in the air that can get sucked up into the tank wich is most ppls concerns water in tank means water in valves. so this is why ppl say you should have them .
