F/B air ride
Monday, December 18, 2006 4:06 PM
Does anyone have a good deal on just a Front Back Air ride?

Not really wanting the FBSS set up, just front and back. Figure it should be a bit cheaper, I've a few mini truck stores (just for the air management kits) and most is either, over priced, or 1/4" line. Like to go 3/8 or 1/2 line.

talk to jason at airbagsource.com

if you want a fb kit you might just have to piece the air management together since most come w/ 8 valves

FBImini's has a decent deal on one...

about $600 for everything but the bags. compressor is small but its a 8 valve system.

can I make a 8Valve (fbss) set up, do only up down? That way I prevent the air transferring from corner to corner by using a 8valve, but still on have, 2 or 3 switches. (front up/down rear up/down 4 corners up/down)

you only need 4 valves for a front to back kit, just plug the other 2 ports, then its all how you wire it. you can wire it however you want

but isn't a 4 valve set up T'd to connect 2 lines into one valve?

If it is, wouldn't weight push air from one bag to the other one? causing lean.

wouldnt u still need the 8 valves regardless?? maybe im thinking into this too much but u still need fill and dump valves for all 4 corners. if u only had 4 u in theory could only fill or dump all 4, not both..?

you can run 4 vavles. one for front up and one for front dump, and same for the rear. alot of mini truckers run this way

thats what im thinking. BUT in doing so, the air is bound to transfer from bag to bag (making 1 side lower/higher than the other). Causing excessive body lean in turns, or going straight. Which is something I want to stay away from.

FBI Mini's does offer a good kit for the price... It is a FBSS but I could always just wire in my 3 switches. (up/down front, up/down back, all up/down)

as baggedcav98 said you only need 4 valves. split the lines with a tee to the bags. therefore you only need to run 2 lines through the car.
