I would get another 4 valves to complete the setup, and just don't use the side/side. Or you can get another 2 valves and do a 6 valve setup, ultimately your choice!

The way you have your valves setup in that picture is wrong. This should help!

He's not saying you need 6 no matter whatbut it would be a lot better than 4. With foour you will get a lot of body roll going around corners from the air transfering from one side to the other. With 6 you will be able to stop that by having seperate valves for each front wheel.

ok that makes sense..now how about the wiring? ive never had any valves that had a relay on it.

That's not a relay attached to the valve, that is the solenoid.

It should have a positive/negative...

Negative should go to ground. Positive should go the the switchbox wire controlling that valve. For example, if the valve you are wiring is front left dump you would connect the positive side of the solenoid to the corresponding s/b wire...

On the ASCO valves you want to use the two vertical prongs, it doesn't matter which is positive/negative.

alright that makes sense..now on the valve itself can i piggy back the + and - with one another or do i have to run new wire to each of them if that makes sense.

And you can pick up some of these for a super clean install.


The bottom prong is a chassis ground and is not nessesary. Just do as Dev said and you will be fine.

You could piggyback the negatives but not the positives. Each one of the positives will run to your switchbox or switches output side.
