    Thank you. I expected as such as I have been under the impression that the purpose for them is to bring the rear of the truck up to level when a tow or haul causes rear end sag.

    Much to the dismay of many folks on this site, I run mine with a Tee and single fill line which gives even pressure to both bags. According to the Tecs at Firestone, dual fill is for use where you are carrying a camper or such and have a "lopsided" load. Single fill is for normal use with fairly even loads. No need to start a debate on single vs dual fills, if you have questions, call the tec at the 800 number located on the bottom of the back page of the install instructions. Plan to set my Taco up the same way as I try not to haul uneven loads. Would be cool if I could find a small ball valve that would work on the airlines, add another Tee and you could actually have both types of set up at the same time. Open the valve to have a single fill, close it to have a dual fill...best of both worlds.

    I also use a "Tee", single fill line, to equalize the pressure between my Air Lift bags. I very seldom find load situations where I need to compensate for unequal load distribution ( any weight on the trailer hitch, for example, is better handled with equal pressure in both bags). Just works better for me.

    Yeah.
    OK, well, science be damned then. Who needs physics anyway?
