  • air ride doing away with flexi lines?

    Ok a few questions for you air ride guys, I am using stainless/ptfe flexi leader lines to my bags and they go into the bottom of the bag. My bags at the top are hard mounted to my chassis and I want to clean up the system and reduce connections.
    could I flip the bag and just run a hard line to the top of the bag? or is this going to cause problems with water filling the bag in time and not draining away? I do have a filter/water trap on my setup between compressor and tank but I doubt if all the water is taken out completely.
    Thanks
    Rob

    Shouldn't really be much of an issue. Lots of us run bags with the lines coming in the top. The only thing I might be worried about is rust, but that's dependent upon your bags - my SS5s have aluminum endcaps, so obviously rust isn't a problem there.

    Be vigilant about keeping your tank drained, and I doubt the water buildup in the bags will be more than a drip or two; certainly not enough to cause any issues.

    EDIT: Another thought is that if you're running the lines in through the bottom, you've still got the same amount of water built up into your system, just that it's hanging out in the lines, so whatever is in there is blowing into the bags every time you air up. If moisture is the issue (i.e. rust), then that's an issue no matter where the lines are run.
