how much psi

i dunno what the deal was, but back in 2002 when i first got my bags and stuff, i had a 110/145 pressure switch, half inch line, 3/8 smc valves, and airlift 2b6 bags with 3/8 NPT ports. i could pull the front off the ground about 6 inches on about the 3rd hit of the switch. if i was driving in like 2nd or 3rd gear it would hop higher, because of the acceleration force i assume... weird huh?

thats funny geoff. mine does seem to get a little more air while im driving down the road.

man, the 83s must be real different than the 86-93s if most you guys are running 150 psi. i had 150 psi compressors that would barely get me up high enough to turn. but it could be because of my tire size. and yeah while i am driving, i think my front may come off the ground, i know my rear does, that is a little scary while doing 70!

hey bj, if i were you i would go with the re7s. if you go re8s, it will hop. re7s will to but the 8s are going to take even less pressure to lift them which means it is going to come up even faster in the rear. the re7s and the re8s have the same lift length if i remember right. just my .02

I run a 150-185 and love it. 150 was too tiny and 200 seemed to take forever to fill and was just too much. 185 seems to be perfect.

150 should be plenty.. i can get my truck off the ground at that pressure, but im running 1/2 inch valves and 5/8 line

not only psi will play a factor in this, but bag location too. I have a 145 switch and have been testing my front with 145 off of my house compressor. even with re-5's up front and no shocks it wants to leave the ground at 145. this is with your standard 3/8's air compressor line hooked in to the bags for now. I am going to go to re-6's up front instead of the 5's to squeeze a little more lift out of it.

I may be wrong so some one correct me if I am, but the closer the bag is to the pivot point the more lift and the less violent it is when lifting.

no matter what the electric valves are going to be fast, you will either have to get the hang of the switch control or put flow controls in line so they left slower. or run 1/4" line from valves to bags.
