my front bags won't lift i hit the switch and nothing. the rear lift fine. i checked the line and the tanks and no leaks, could the valves be bad? the wiring is still fine not sure what else to check

if the valves are not clicking check your ground wire.

When you hit the switch do they click like there is power there?

Have you pulled them off and taken them apart to see if there is any trash?

Does you tank have enough air in it? Sounds like you aren't letting it build enough pressure to lift the front. It takes 10 times the air pressure to lift the front than the back.

Yea, it sounds like not enough pressure, or a bad ground/loose connection.. Check over everything I'm sure you'll find the problem.. do the front valves click?

the valves click and now i think my compressor might be going bad! it runs for like 10 min and it still not full. it's a air zenith with the pressure switch set to 185psi and after 10 min it only fills up to 80psi. the compressor is not even 6 months old.

If its an AZ, theres your problem.. mine has crapped out on me twice, AZ replaced it once.. then I had to rebuilt it.. and it only lasted a few months inbetween messups..


Scrap the AZ and go engine driven =)

Sounds like the compressor is your problem. 80 PSI isn't gonna get you too far lifting your front if any in an F150
