Re: Manual valve question
cheapest set-up I have seen used if you have a sway bar is two bags tee'd to a schrader valve. of course if your not near a gas station or other source of air when you need it.
I have a friend that is runnin like this but also tee'd in a small compressor , like a thomas 315/317 on a momentary push button. no tank or pressure switch. It is obviously slow to lift off the compressor so he usually airs up with a tire chuck on the valve and uses the compressor if he's somewhere without air.
Not sure I have the patience to hold the button down for 1-2 minutes while the truck airs up but it has worked for him for over 10 years without fail and is CHEAP.
for the panels like you describe Firestone still sells them as an accessory to their ride rite line of helper springs and I have pieced panels together using Clippard mini-matic button valves from my local hydraulic/pneumatic supply house. depending on orofice size they can be pretty cheap too.
Master Image Customs used to sell a ton of the manual panels back in the day so you might find something on ebay,garage sale, swap meet that could be pretty cheap too.
