    I had the lines run into a "T" connector so there's only one valve. The new tom4bren bumper doesn't have holes for two of the bottom cladding screws so my valve is mounted vertically facing downward (outward) through one of those holes. Can't even see it unless you kneel down.

    If I were to put them on the VX, I think I'd have the valve in the jack storage compartment.

    FWIW...

    If you install a "T" fitting, as opposed to two individual nipples, you are increasing body roll.

    When one side compresses, it sends pressure over to the other side, increasing pressure...

    Which will magnify body roll.
