Looking to install Air Bags, in line or not?!

So I am looking at putting some air bags in my 2000 F250 with an board air compressor and tank. I have noticed some people say to run two separate lines to each bag having its own solenoid and gauge. Why is this necessary? I was hoping to run one line and split after the solenoid into each bag with just one gauge showing the balanced pressure between the two. The only reason I can think of having two separate is for leveling. But my trailer is bumper pull, so I would be evenly weighted. Any thoughts? :shrug:

The reason is that if they are connected, when you go around a corner with a load, the springs on the outside of the turn get weighted more than those on the inside. The air in the outside bag will get sqeezed into the inside bag, pronouncing the body roll.

:whs:and possibly overloading the bag causing it to burst
