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?

Re: air bags again
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!!

Re: air bags again
Cool, I was thinking there would less of a chance for a leak since there is less plumbing.

Re: air bags again
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....

Re: air bags again
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?

Re: air bags again
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!
