atleast 1/2" valves, and probably around 175-200 psi (im just guessing here)
How fast to bunnyhop?
1489
19
what size valve's and air pressure does it take to get a ext cab 5.3 do small bunny hops? i dont wanna fuck anything up but wouldnt mind having an air system fast enough to do that.

I know it takes more than 180psi my friend is running 180 on a ex-cab S-dime and it doesn't even hop.

not sure what you mean by bunny hops... but
a couple weeks ago, i hung out with a guy with a S-10 that hopped his truck on air all the time. You can do it, you just will need a relatively fast system. He ran an air commander up to 200-250 psi. Instead of a pressure switch, he had a on/off switch and a gauge for his tanks, so he could choose how much pressure he was running. He ran dual port 3/4 inch valves and was able to hop it a good 6-8 inches every couple of minutes. My friends caprice hops 6 inches on 210 PSI of air. 1/2 inch valves with the inlet valves mounted on the bags. Neither of them run shocks. Its possible to run shocks and hop, i've just never seen anyone do it that way though
The easiest way to hop, no shocks, valves mounted on the bags, and dual ported bags. Then its just a matter of how much pressure your running:read:.

basically thats what i wont. very fast on the way up but i want to be able to adjust the height on the way down. im probally going with 1/2" dumps but if thats too fast i will try one of those mufflers 01GMC was talking about.2k1slvrdo said:
should i run 3/4" line and fills (its going to be hard wired with copper(yea i dont care, it will look like a dull penny) or will 1/2" be enough with the air commander and a diffrent pressure switch that goes to 200psi instead of the 145 one you get with the kit?
sorry if thats incoherant i had a few beers taking my bumper off today... :crazy:

if you just want your system to be fast, but adjustable on the way down you can run 1/2" fills and 3/8" dumps.

valve placement is very important. Put thoose valves on the bag, and you'll have really fast ups, put your dumps anywhere and it should be pretty easy to handle. My friends caprice has both valves on his bags(dual port) and it can hop on 180 psi, where me with 175 psi, am no where near hopping b/c my valves are placed on my frame rails under my front doorstuckin22 said:

Get some juice and it'll be fast and it'll hop :head: :head: :head:
