Mowhawk has MC9 leveling valves cheap.

About $50 bucks.
I did away with my front leveling valve.
Needed some way to level the bus, so attached a IR regulator to the front airbags and set it at 60 lbs for travel and anywhere from 20 to 80 lbs for leveling. The length of a bus makes airbag leveling limited, but it's been pretty useful if you park in the right place.
I'd been told that regulators wouldn't hold up to the pounding of the air suspension. Mine's been working for 5 years without issue.
Mounted a pressure gauge next to the regulator so I can monitor the pressure. Although, once it's set, you're done.
I've also got a ball valve that isolates the airbags from the bus air system so that they don't leak down. The suspension will stay inflated for a week or more...as long as it's isolated.
I kept the rear leveling valves..but have them plumbed up so that they can be taken out of the system for side-to-side leveling. Or, returned to the system for highway operation.
