That certainly sounds doable enough.


Plug the port is fine , just hard on the relief valve if
you inadvertently shift to that port.


But aren't you going to shift to it every time you go to let
the other side down?

Thanks for you answers, that's a big help.

Well the valves I am familiar with have a center neutral position . As
long as you only shift from center one way and back to center it should
not be an issue . Inadvertently shift the wrong way though you will hear
your relief valve complaining . A replacement spool should be around 20
bucks in the more common size valves or make up your own . Luck

But has to be shifted the other way to let the cylinder back down.
