http://www.streetridepro.com/air-con-35c-push-button-air-controller-1400?year=2999 or http://www.airbagit.com/product-p/air-con-35c.htm after years of experience with leveling systems - here's my advice. #1 electronic systems are just too damn complicated #2 Buy the $125 system - REMOVE the stupid OEM leveling Valves COMPLETELY (they were meant for changing passenger loads in transit operation - (you don't really need them.) Install the 4 gauge system and set the level manually before driving P.S. I've NEVER SEEN any bus that didn't have either the fronts air bag or the rear airbags TIED together. The ENGINEERS did that on purpose - you can't twist the bus that way - plus the two bags tied together give a sort of cushion for the INDEPENDENT airbags to work against. NEVER INSTALL THE SYSTEM to do 4 wheel leveling (you WILL twist the bus - break windshiels / etc) ALWAYS ALWAYS keep what ever airbags that WERE CONNECTED / keep them connected together - do that simply by plumbing the control valves together - and run ONLY one line to the connected air bags. Either of the control valves will control the connected set TOGETHER JUST KISS - Just measure the fender wells to ground distance when your on a level area before you remove the old system - then manually dial those heights back in when you have the manual gauges - record the setting and (that's what you'll use for traveling simple as that | ||

It is not a problem if you just use common sense, four wheel leveling is not rocket science!! | ||

Dave - You can still level the bus (side to side) with just one axle (front or rear)being controlled independantly - part of the trick is to leave enough air in the "tied together air bag axel" to give enough "SQUISH" to level side to side. I did it all the time - you can actually pick up a corner and have the DIAGONAL corner go down. Gus - Why even risk it !! - That's what great about building your - do it your way This is just my OPINIONS !! - simple as that !! |
