      Ok if you load the bags the pressure does go up as you increase the weight on the outside spring and will go down on the inside of the turn, its called weight transfer,but its the volume that holds you up.
      The reason for seperate lines is so that you can actually level the car and stop transfer.
      Besides one of the reasons air ride works so well is because the air spring will increase in rate expotentially as the weight transfer increases.
      Now on my 78 C10 I have 3 paddle switches and with the front leveled the back sort of "follows" suit. As for the front I have to run about 10 to 15 lbs more in the right front over the left and I run my rears at around 110-115.
      If the lines are tied together then as you load the outside of the turn the air will go to the other side. This is why the LevelPro a RidePro and BigRed valves are setup basicly for 4 valve(actually 4 in 4 out) blocks, You can use singles but it makes a less optimum handling set up.
      I dont try to track my truck, yet and intend to later on install valves and solenoids.
      I actually used an A6 AC compressor and my 5 gallon tank for 2 1/2 yrs before the clutch wore out,,,I now have a custom(ie I threw it together to get my truck rolling again)bracket and a York compressor for air.
      If you dont use AC on your car and you can source brackets you can run that,,,I also have an airline and shut off valve so I can air up tires and such.
      Besides single lines were used on airshocks for years by smart people.
      I did it several times long before getting air springs.
