shrader valve for air bags.

im interested if any one is running them on their truck. I cant decide if i want to do a static drop or bag it. but the cost of the air management system is really making me think static. I dont need to go up and down, just looking the best stants and ride.

Re: shrader value for air bags.

You can do manual valves, a single small tank and compressor for pretty damn cheap these days as well. I bagged my '69 with electric valves for less than $800 for everything. You could even go without a compressor and just use a manual fill tank with gauge.

Re: shrader valve for air bags.

I put my shrader valves at the end of my frame rails just under the bed , one on each side for each bag. I set the ride height where I want it and leave it there unless I put something in the bed thats heavy then I adjust the air pressure for the weight.
