i would advise against hooking both airlines together, growing up in washington state there were a lot of twisty roads so having the airbags separate helps keep the load from rocking side to side.

I finally got Firestone Industrial's website to work and downloaded the manual. I seem to have the ride-rite kit with the additional air-rite compressor/gauge system. I did notice at the very bottom of the installation page it mentions to avoid damage to the bags, never run them with more than 100 psi or less than 5 psi in them.

When the weather gets a little warmer, I'm going to get under the truck and see if I can find the leak that is causing them to deflate after a couple of days...
