Do you guys think hitting switches Front, Back, Side, to Side (FBSS) w/ 3/8 valves and 1/2 line will affect the XB's unibody frame?

I'll put up some pics soon!!

You aren't likely to see problems as long as you don't abuse your new suspension. Over time it very well could problems if you aren't careful. Also, make sure you aren't running high pressure. Anything over 175 psi on the xB is way too much.

Considering the weight of the xB, running eight 3/8" valves with 1/2" line is equivalent to running 1/2" valves with 5/8" or even 3/4" line on a fullsize truck.

brace the frame... should help a little but will most likely change your handling charicteristics. i havent yet but i plan to.

FYI... No frame to brace. Hence the unibody. There are subframe / chassis braces you can buy though that could help.

Even with all of the bracing in the world, I still wouldn't recommend "extreme" use of an air suspension on an xB.
