Air Ride help please?

Hi guys Im getting ready to build my air ride setup. I wanted to know what I should go with 3/8 or 1/2 inch line and valves? I mean theres no resson to go bigger then you have to. But I want a pretty quik setup to, not super but not slow. So what are you other 7th geners doing?

I have an air ride set up for sale. It's a pretty sick kit and it can do all the tricks. It has 2 compressors, so filling up the tank is real fast. Let me know if you're interested.

I know about bagging trucks, but not much about cars. I'm not sure if you could lay out the front without alot of cutting, the back may be a different story though. I'd say maybe 18's would be the biggest, but i may be wrong. Some people on here have bags and they should chime in shortly.

Btw i have some airline i've never used (was gonna bag my Tacoma), i believe it's 25 ft. or so of 3/8 if i remember correctly. Originally got it from FBIMini.com

Only go 1/2 lines if the valves will benefit from them. I used 1/2 lines with the fastest vales the company made and I could raise the car up past stock height in under one second. It was as fast as Hydros.

Most likely. But the 1/2 will be faster.

Wouldn't using 1/2" lines be kinda like using 3/8" lines since the ID of all the fittings/valves/etc would have to be less than 1/2". Maybe I'm wrong, someone have any input.
