Should Air Lines For Air Bags With Union Tee Be the Same Length
Question:
When using a Tee connector for the air lines for my air lift 5000, does it matter if the li es on each side are the same or does the length matter. Trying to understand how it has the same pressure on each side if lines are different lengths.

Expert Reply:
The air lines should be as close to the same length as possible when using the # AL21838. If your 2 hoses are off by 1" I wouldn't worry too much about it. If for some reason they're off by feet you could end up with a pressure imbalance between the two causing them the air bags to be uneven.
The easiest thing to do would be replace the shorter side with the # AL20086 and cut it down with a hose cutter # AL10530 so it matches. This air line kit is approximately 16' long which should be plenty.
