Helpful Expert Reply:

Having an air suspension system with two separate Schrader valves would allow you to fine tune the suspension from side to side, like when carrying uneven or awkward loads in your vehicle. A system with a single inflation point would not provide this ability. If you carry an uneven load on a vehicle that only has one inflation point, the air pressure can migrate from the side with more weight placed on it to the other side, which can cause lateral instability.

Since using a single inflation point is simpler, going that route would be the way to go as long as you make sure the weight is evenly distributed from side to side.
