my brother in law wants me to bag his 79 c10. if he comes through which i highly doubt, i will be bringing home his spare frame and getting started. but only after he buys all his parts and what not. anyways, back to the question.

he only wants to do front and back. so should i run 6 valves or 8? def. not doing 4 so that is out of the question. but should 6 be sufficient or should he go ahead and spend an extra 70 bucks and get 2 more? he is pretty much a broke ass so i don't know if he will even do it unless he uses his tax return. but damn it would be nice if he does. i already told him that i would do it for free as long as he supplies the parts and materials.

Have him spend the extra cash it will be much better handling.

if hes only doing a front and back setup wouldnt that defeat the purpose of having 6-8 valves?

Me personally if I didnt get such a good deal on my new valves I wante dhave 8 but considering what im gonna do in the future I need them

You could run six in a variation to independent up with check vavles in the tee and 1 down for front and 1 down for back.

You could run six for 1 front and rear pump and 4 dumps kinda like Hydraulics You still couldnt adjust each corner pressure.

Or 4 valves for front and 2 for rear. Doesnt that truck have the 2 lonk already on it?

8 valves instead of 6 would only be about $80 bux more and whats that if he's gonna bag the whole truck?

Ballvalves are the shit. These are mine. Swagelok 2 ways. 1 for front and 1 for rear. Each valve is up AND down. (dont ask what happened between the 2 valves, long story, lol)
