Yes. If you buy the basic air bag kit (without a pump) then each bag has it's own fill/empty valve.

If they're plumbed together then when you take a corner the air from one bag will try to "inflate" the other bag a little.

Wow...I've never heard of a problem like that. Maybe a bent air bag mount or two, but no damage to the truck. There has to be 10's or 100's of thousands of people out there using air bags on a Dodge.

When you add air bags the weight is being placed in the best possible locations. The upper mount takes the place of the bump stop and the lower mount is on the super beefy axle tube.

Thats kinda what I figured. If there was a problem like that, they would have caught it years ago or there wouldn't be that many people running them. I will call the guy on Monday and ask him what he is talking about. lol
