air bags again
 
Could I install my bags and just use individual schraeder valves for the time being until I set up a bag system? I really want to run bags but since I wont be running the whole set up should I just go with springs till I get the whole package?

You can do that, that's how mine is set up for now.

like jnj said, it's quite acceptable to run schraders. to get the same fill in each bag, get a good digital tire pressure gauge, and viola!!

Cool, I was thinking there would less of a chance for a leak since there is less plumbing.

install all of your fittings with the proper Loctite, wrap a piece of rubber heater hose around the air tubes when they pass through metal, and you should have a tight, reliable system....

ive used loctite on my setup and no leaks. whichever you feel comfortable using, both should work fine.

tcb-1, is that your new ride in the avatar?

I just use teflon tape, at least 3 full wraps and no leaks;)

thanks for the help guys. I may consider just bagging the rear for the time being till I can afford my ultimate bag set up. I bought the truck undriveable. It's tore down to the frame so just trying to get my rolling chassis built and hopefully be able to drive it next summer!
