i have 1/4 inch lines and wouldn't trade them. People say they are too slow, but to me, people look retarded dropping so fast.

Running 1/2" lines here. Have slow down fittings on the exhaust of my valves so it dumps it gently. :P

Used to have them wide open because I liked the loud noise it would make when you air out, but it was too fast though.

I love 1/4 lines. It's much easier to fine tune the ride height when 1-2 psi is the difference between the tire and fender rubbing together.

I'm running 200psi on 3/8 lines and 3/8 ASCO and Sirai valves on Ksport bags, slow downs to tightest on all 4 lines, adjustable exhaust mufflers on all to near slowest. It jumps up so fast, each time I press it as quick as possible, it'll jump up about 1/4 height at least. I am thinking of putting 1/4 sized fitting before the start of the line to slow it down so I don't have to change the lines.....

I have Dakota Digital auto leveling, it'll try to adjust the preset height, but it's hard since every time it tries, it'll jump way too high, and lowering is so slow that at times, it timed out.

Let me bring something to the table that most of you probably have never used.



Look at what is attached to my exhaust port of my manifold. It is a muffler with a slow down that is a screw. You can choose how fast or how slow by simply rotating the **** which controls the internal valve. You can actually close them completely and it wont leak, trust me I've tried it. There are also lift controls available to slowdown how fast you go up.

You can choose how fast you go down only right?

With the slow down pictured yes that is the point.
