ok so i need some help from some of you air ride guys, and yea yea yea dont laugh cause ive had hydraulics so i'm old.

im running rear air on the crush,

i have the bags mounted
the air tank mounted
the compressor mounted

what i could use your guys' help on is the "flow" of components that go between the compressor and the tank as well as between the tank and bags

i have 1/4 inch line and the fittings on the bags, so could anyone steer me in the dirrection of where to get a pressure cut out switch and the solenoid,

also please point out to me where in line they go.

can one gauge go in the line between the compressor and tank(to monitor system press) and the other in the output line to the rear?(to monitor bag pressure) any help would be great.

You should try to put a water trap between the compressor and the tank.

Between the tank and bags, you need 2 valves per bag. One for lift, one for dump. Check valves between the tank and valve are not a bad idea either.

Here is an example for plumbing the valves.

When you open the dump valve you do not want it to drain the tank. So the lift valve needs to be in between the dump and the tank to prevent this.
