I've always heard that SMC is the best. But I have run airlift vavles for almost a year and a half now with no problems. There are alot of vavles out there that will work with no problems. Only thing I have to say is try to run some smaller vavles. I have 1/2 and they are way to fast. I'd run 3/8 or maybe even 1/4, if I did it over.

I used to work with pnumatics at work. We used SMC valves and fittings almost exclusivly. However I have gone with Hyvair for my suspension. As far as I can tell they are very good quality.

I have there new dual diaphram valves. They are basicaly 2 valves joined togather. to make a 3 way valve.

 

Here are a couple of other shots with the fitings for the pressure sensor.

 

For the xB, definitely stick with the 3/8" SMC. If you plan on running higher pressure than 175, I would make different recommendations, but SMC is your best bet for a typical setup.

As listed above, you can get them from Suicide Doors, or you can also try http://www.truckshop.com. Both are very good reliable sources. And both provide great customer service.
