Bagged and bodied 99 c3500 build

What are the gauges for? Looks like you have too many. 4 for bag pressure (if you're doing FBSS, 2 if not) and one for tank pressure is all you need. Looks like you have 2 analog dual needle gauges as well as 2 dual digitals.

There are two dual digital for the bag pressure
And two single needle guages for the tank pressure. I think I am running each tank off its own compressor.

Got started on the valve block. Waiting on a couple pieces to show up then I'll figure out exactly how to mount this between the rear seats in the back.
The lines will probably run through the floor when all said and done.
I'm putting these in the cab so I still have the option of driving in the iowa winters, so I am going to have them on full display in the back. I think they look too cool to hide.

Prematurely took it off jack stands, but I needed a bit of inspiration.

So 2 independent systems?

So 2 independent systems?

That's what I'm thinking, one compressor and tank running the front, the other compressor and tank running the back and air horn.
Or would it be better to have them all tied together?
You got me thinking the ther day about different scenarios, in my mind, and I could be way wrong but having the two independent of one another would make it easier to find/fix potential issues

One tied together is easier, and I don't see any advantage to separate systems. Tied together if one compressor fails it will just take longer to air up rather than not being able to lift the front or rear. Just my thoughts on the matter.

And that brings us back to having a failure on the road and being stuck. Independent front and rear would screw me.
Thanks man, I appreciate all of your help.

Or you could run nitrogen and have one compressor for back up.

I have two tanks and I have a pressure switch for both.
Would I run both relays to both pressure switches, or one relay to one, one to the other?
Or does it make no difference one way or the other
