How many gallons of air are you guys running and at what pressure? What kind of compressors are you running?

6 gallons at 210psi in one and 5 gallons and 180 psi in the other.  What about the rest of you?  I have found that more air doesn't always make for a better air-ride setup; I am switching to a 3 gallon tank and 200 psi in my smaller truck.

12 gallons at who cares what psi, depends on how much stuff I'm willing to mess up. If it hops at 180psi, then it just REALLY hops at 250+. But generally about 200.

Well I say flow controls but I dont mean the adjustable ones haha I just put reducer bushings in to restrict it a little plus I am now running 3/8" line so that helped a bit too

I have a front fast dump that always sticks and it pisses me off...would a silencer/some sort of fitting on that dump help that? I guess I should just try, considering I have some.

If you mean that it is sticking open then I dont see that working but if it is just to fast for you to control then yeah. I used 1/2" npt caps on my dumps then just drilled  a hole in each one for the air to come out of. I would step up in drill size little by little and did different size holes for front and rear so that I can just hold down the dump switch and the truck drops even
