Just got my airlift 1000 kit today, I'm wondering if I should T the air lines or do them seperately, the instructions say either way is an option.
It would obviously be more convenient to T the lines, but it seems to me that if you kept each air bag with it's own line, then it would help keep sway minimized.
When the bags are joined, if you take a corner and compress one side, the air will just move to the other bag, but if eash is seperate, then the bag will keep pressure and fight the sway. Does this make any sense? thanks!

when i had them i ran separate valves for each to help with the "lean". i ran them to the hood where the gas cap goes. easy to fill with a cheap $21 12v air compressor from HF.

What would be cool is if there was a turn valve at the T, in one position it would allow air to flow to both bags to get equal pressure, then once you have it set, you rotate it to close off the flow between the bags. I'm sure there is something like that in existence, but maybe not as small as the T fitting.

On second thought, all you would need is an inline on off valve on one of the hoses, it wouldn't need to be right at the T
