smc makes good valves.

[geedog66]

are the ones that airride make the big red model better that than the smc valves????

[Silentalero]

yea gotta agree smc or parker

[geedog66]

thanks for the help

i was looking at airbagit.com and they had the direct-valve with mainfold is that better than the seperate valves when going with f,b,s,s setup???? also im planning on going with 1/2" air line so half inch valves would be good or 3/4 would be better??? i want them fast but i dont want the tires to lift off the ground when i lift up the car

Go with parker valves.. there number 1.. then go with smc as a 2nd choice. 1/2" lines are quick enough already.. unless your doing airbag hopping competition.. i don't think you need any bigger than that. Anyways most hopper guys use 1/2" .. so why do 3/4. If u want to go slower when you do down.. get 3/8 lines on lines that goes down. and have 1/2" lines when ya raise .. so you'll be raised up quicker.

what about the direct valve with manifold??? is just a simple way of mounting the valves or is it better i would rather do it that way so i wont have the issue of finding a good spot to mount each valve

[Travis99Alero]

a manifold will be fine. i had a 3/8" smc manifold with half inch lines and it was pretty fast.

my question to anyone with a measuring tape i was woundering if a 12 gal tank would fit in the trunk before i buy the tank.. if someone would measure the rear part of the truck be able to fit that tank which measures 44" long and 12 1/2" round... thanks

yes 12 gal does fit I have it but i just went down to a 9 gal... If I was you I would go with the 1/2" SMC with a direct port tank... That is a sweet setup and your valves are right on your tank, makes for a clesn install and very fast.

well i have riped it all out and redoing my car right now i can take a pic of the tank with the valves on it for ya. Because its still together.
