I'm always all or nothing in mine.
10psi regular driving....and 100 when towing/loading to be sure not to bottom out.

Im guessing running one line to each bag would be like having a sway bar built in.

i have mine teed into a 1/4'' pushloc fitting and the truck sits level on all 4 corners. it was level before the bags though, just for reference.
i run 15psi in mine since it sits at the same height with 10 or 15 in them on my truck.

Truck looks great. I too would ditch the steps and flip the tires to blackwall out.

You should really look into getting a compressor/tank/controller setup. Makes life so much better. Can't beat on board air with the ability to make changes at the tip of your finger. My setup is all pieced together but I'm pretty sure Airlift sells complete kits.

Few pics of my setup.

Joy of living in texas: putting compressor in front and not worrying about it.

Try that in the snowy states or canada

Hey Brother, I am running a Belltech 3/5 drop as well. I am wanting to do the exact same thing. Where did you buy this kit from? Please send me the details. I want to order this ASAP. Also, did you do the work yourself? If so, how long did it take you and where there any hard parts?

Thanks.

Thanks for the info. Ordering mine today. One last question, did you have to drill new holes into the frame or did you use existing holes? I am out of town so I can't see my truck. Did you did drill the holes did you have to have a certain drill bit for the metal. So for all the questions but once I start installing the bags I don't want to stop to go buy special tools.

Again thanks for the help.

you have to drill 4 holes on each side for the upper brackets, any good metal drill bit will do, I used a dewalt bit from home depot, went thru like butter, you have to drill thru both sides of the frame so get one that's long enough. Watch out for the brake lines on the drivers side. Just unbolt the bracket and move them out of the way so you dont hit em.
