The bore of the cylinder matters, along with the length for air consupmtion. The ones for your gripper not being very large I am assuming should not draw hardly any air at all.
We run two small shifting cylinders also, and we run a maximum allowed (2 in"?) bore 8 inch long cylinder. I can shift all I want and we can tilt the arm when necessary and we are fairly ok. If you want to run 4 large bore cylinders at a decent lenght, make sure you have a lot of accumulators.
