Sorry if these questions seem stupid I just have no experience with air bags and want it right the first time.

Also if it helps I am planning the install the bags on the top of the axle outside the frame rail and plan the lower bars to be at least 30" long.
I am not expert. But I have 2 bags in the rear tied together thanks to the previous owner.

I can tell you they act a little strange going around corners sometimes. One bag is compressed more on the outside of the turn and raises the pressure on the inside bag which is allowed to expand. It can cause strange reactions. I have never had anything really crazy happen so I wouldnt be totally against doing it this way again. Only as long as it was bags in the back for load leveling with coil springs up front.

If it were ever to be bags all the way around, I would only do them valved individually to avoid that reaction I mentioned above. I am converting to bags in front at some point as well. When that happens I will replumb everything to be valved individually.
