Firestone Ride Rite System

Question

Just wondering....I have the Firestone Ride Rite system on my 2012 FR Lexington.  It has two seperate fill valves, one for each side.  I remember back in the "olden" days with air shocks you had one fill valve with hoses running to each shock via a splitter.My system is factory installed and just wondering if seperate valves are normal.  Looked the system up on-line but could get no specific answer.Grumpy

Mine were that way too.  I'd rather have it that way; if they were connected to a common line, then the pressure would transfer from side to side as you turned or pulled into driveways with uneven access... Having independent pressure helps to minimize sway.
