if you want I can make a short vid of the valve and t fitting, you couldnt see it in the vid, I have a longer video with some of what i went through to get the front to that point...

dont forget what 79olds said about body roll. if u have two bags plumbed together with a t with when u go around a corner the wheight of the car will transfer air in one bag to the other, in most cases. not sure what kinda bags your going to use or size of line. just something to think about

yeah in been thinkin bout that and i think i mit just do a Schrader valve a each wheel with a small psi gauge at each wheel also.just so i kno the fornts have the same psi side to side and same as the rear.i kno that mit seem like a pain to have to go form wheel to wheel but really i dont mind cuz i dont plan on it beeing something to play with just a nice ride and i really like the fell of air ride just dont want all the crap on my car that comes with just want simple as i can get really

and you are correct about that, In my case I do not have to worry about that... but that is the case if you just t it... i figured maybe adj shocks would help him with that... but right now pushing down on one corner does put more air in the other bag...
