i have double bellows, so deifnitly alot of volume. at full dump im at 15 psi all around. I dont need it to hop up, but i mean i try to go up and it wont go to full height, you have to raise it till it stops, wait for tank to refill., then hit it again to go all teh way up.

i also cant go to ride height by pressing my preset. it will go to the set pressure, but it will still be way too low. i have to press max height (which doenst evne go to max..) then lower back down...

whats even more strange is i tr yto pump up just the front lets say, it get sto about 100 psi and wont go higher, even though the tank reads 125... if im holding the solenoid open it should equal out to be the same no?

No because you have losses in the air line. Like the air line itself, fittings and the solenoid.

Actually I redid his install. Only reason I didnt do it myself the first time is I didnt have a garage or tools when I lived on that island. I just dont take many photos of my car or when I'm doing a build.

This setup I built myself. Tank I made, bent all the lines, made my own false floor, polished myself etc

That is gorgeous, and the fact you DIY'd it makes it that much better haha. A quick question - Does the VU4 have inputs on both sides? I'm playing around with the idea of a dual tank setup (the relentless pursuit of symmetry) and would love to know if I could connect the tanks, individually, to the manifold.
