So I am trying to figure out how to set up my rear bags so I can fill an empty them when I am in the truck, I know to let air in to the bags I use a valve just like the ones I use for my train horns. Now to let the air out of the bags, do I just use another valve and let it air out to the atmosphere?
yes, or if you want, you can run a line from the valve back to the tank and put the air back into the tank
most people don't do it because they dont have enough free ports or room, but you shouldn't have a problem with either. It'll keep your compressor from having run as much.
Wait how the fuck do u put air back into the tank???

I'd assume just take the other said of the valve that lets the air out and put it to one of the open ports
That's what I'm thinking, and you'd also have to have a check valve going into the tank so air wouldn't come out of the tank and into the exhaust valve correct?
if you run a line from the dump valve back the tank, the air that was used to fill you bag will go back into the tank. the only thing you have to do is make sure you have a check valve after the dump valve, so the pressure from the tank isn't against valve door.
its not for bagged street trucks because of the the on board air system. something like this needs to be used on trucks without onboard air, or that have a small compressor to use for just emergencies.

So does that mean I shouldn't do it? I have an on board air set up with two viair compressors

So basically once you air the system up, you wouldn't need any air but what leaks out, so potentially you could run one small compressor to fill the small amount of air that's leaked out?
if you plan to have the compressors running a lot, then do not do it.
I had my truck set up like this when i was static with my helpers.
had one 3 gallon tank, 280c compressor, 1/4" line, valves and check valves, and 150psi pressure switch.
i would run the compressor to fill the tank, then cut the power to the compressor.
then during the summer, I could run 6 months on that recirculating air and never turn my compressor on. during the winter it was about every 2 months because of temperature change at night.
your truck shouldn't leak. on a vehicle that relies on the bags for support of the vehicle, you do not want to do this. this is for a helper/tow bag setup
