Next came air management: Had two six pack Hadley valves donated to the cause...
Used 8 valves for air ride and the other four will be for the air dump bed im going to install so i can get access under raised floor bed in the future to work on it or change battery. the other two will be for air horns maybeeeeeeee...

My buddy said all i was missing was a rubber spider to hang in the middle of the plumbing... hey it works great... LOL!!!!
