    Nice idea. I have Ride-Rites on my Tacoma. I plumbed each side totally separate. It does prevent sway. Thought about a connector between them with a valve, but that just adds a layer of complexity.

    I did run a line from each side up to the console and put a small gauge for each side. But I do have to adjust the pressure at the pair of Schraders mounted in back on each side of the license plate. I just use the gauge on my inflator to adjust pressure.

    I find that keeping the passenger side 2-3 psi higher than the driver side helps eliminate some passenger side tire spin if I accelerate too quickly. I had a 1999 Tacoma that I wired so I could engage the differential lock using the button on the dash, without using 4WD. But on my 2005 , 4wd, 4wd Low are controlled with a knob instead of a shift lever and the Diff-Lock will not engage unless the knob is in 4 low.
