Sad thing is that they have parents that must not be teaching them anything.
Are the parents that dumb as well?

The parents texted and Snapchatted their upbringing to them. Do you see a problem?

Problem is discipline is considered abuse in today's day and age. There is good parents out there and then there are those that just let their kids do as they please. Like anything there is good and bad, just depends what you are looking at.

That is so true, I get so mad at news reporting of parents "Abuse" now days! The classic case was the pro Football player that was charged for abuse for using a "swich" (AKA very small and fine end of a tree growth). The news always reported he hit his child with a "Tree Branch".
This was my Grandmother's most extreme punishment, the worst part was she would make us go get the swich!! Usually only one strike, it would sting like He11!!

Funny how a thread about adding air bags has morphed into talking about kids and discipline. Reading the the thread you can see the progression, and I will admit to contributing. We have all enjoyed the “ride” I’m sure, but I think it’s time we got back on track.

I tried by adding pictures of the Valve and Hose routing.

Very easy to go down a turkey trail, and I also added a few twists and turns !

In all seriousness now for someone with a coil sprung ram 2500 this kit was very easy to install, not a single hole to drill or cut. Truck didn't need them, but it'll save a few minutes on every hook up, or set up due to the sag and using a Anderson Hitch.

Well at least to a 3500 SRW
Now we are back on track!

Henry, I appreciated your initial post on the bags and think I might want to put them on mine.....just because.

It's pretty easy, I think you could do it in the campground on a warm sunny Florida day. I went really lazy and even paid the $21 for push to connect fittings. Just don't do as I did and put the 1/2 Impact on it to try and tighten the lower mount bolt as it rotates the plate around so it is Square with the bump stop plate. You will twist off a bolt in the bag like I did. Don't worry an extraction kit and she was zipped right on out about an hour after the swear words were spoken. After looking at it there is a slight raised bevel on the bag that makes it look like the plate is not tight. Well the plate was tight.

Question about air bags.
If you have two bags hooked to one fill can the air pressure transfer from the outside bag to the inside bag while going around a curve?

I don't know. Your thinking is if that happened it could make the truck lean even more, right ?

Of course. Think about it. If you have one fill point there is a T where both lines from each bag connect then go to the fill valve. Everything behind that valve is internally connected so if you have a reason for the pressure to decrease/increase on one side or the other the total air volume is going to adjust - to whatever degree that may be.

Sounds like a trick question. The teacher in trade school said when in doubt pick answer "C".
That answer is pressure is constant in both bags always.

So . . . . . . , what if one wheel drops into a pothole and as it rides up the other side. Does not the pressure in that bag increase and push air to the other bag until equilibrium is achieved ? Thus momentarily increasing the size of that other bag.

I've no idea, but do you bleed the bags from the same valve or is the fill valve a 1 way valve?

Yes, they are a standard Schrader valve like on a tire.

Just something to think about . I don't have the answer so I use the separate fill hook up. Not really concerned with the DRW but it concerned me with SRW once when I was unhooked with a load in the bed.

I don’t know the answer but I wanted to be sure to pressure both sides on my F350 the same so I used one Schrader valve and installed an isolation valve between the two bags so I could separate them after adding/removing air.
