It looks awesome! I can't wait to see the front and how you do your bag mounts.

Here is a picture of my rear bag spacers they will bolt to the rear axle bracket
and the bag. I will probably go lower in the future and if i do i will just remove the spacers, the driveshaft hits the crossmember so this is as low as i can go without notching it and the cab. The front bag spacers(brackets)will look like the rear just shorter, one end will bolt to the bag and the other end will have the radius arm bolt go through it bolt to the radius arm and ibeam. The upper bag mount looks like i can just bolt it to the spring perch if not i will build something to work.

That's sound pretty much how I have mine planned to do when I get around to it. I have a gallery with pics of how I imagine doing it. I'll have to wait to see your pics at home, my work internet has gotten to where it blocks pics from photobucket and tinypic.
Here's my idea of how I'm going to do it.

I finished up my valves and hooked the rear lines up i hooked it up my shop compressor and did a test and the rear came up. I got a bad pipe tee so i couldnt hook the tank to the valves so i will have to wait till tomorrow
to pick up some new parts. Here are a few more pics.

I will be able to control the front and rear seperately but not each wheel by itself. The valves closest to the tank will control the rear bags. One valve to raise it and one valve to dump the air.

Sounds good, and If you want to add more valves later you can. A lot of people only run one fill and dump on the back, but put a fill and dump on each front.

Reading your signature what's wrong with dragthat? I haven't heard anything about them, just wondering? I plan on getting most of my stuff from suicidedoors.com.

I bought some stuff from them with no problems so i placed a second order and i tried to get a tracking number for 2 weeks but couldnt get ahold of anyone there. The owner finally emailed me saying that they shipped to my billing address instead of my shipping address(there mistake he admitted). He said he would reship my order and i said ok that sounds great the next day i got a email from paypal saying he refunded my money. I emailed him and he acted like he didnt know who i was, long story short the refund
never cleared. Paypal looked into it and said i was in the right and they recovered 1.25 of my 180.00 payment. I have now got my cc company involved and they are gonna take care of it. I ordered the rest of my stuff from suicidedoors and gravitywerx.
