Air suspension question
 
Ok guys, which should i go for,

Manual paddel valves or solenoids,

I used to have air ride on the front of my 48 ford coupe, it had two paddel valve switches, this all worked ok, obviously times have changed and everyone seems to want to go up and down fast, is this the only gain ?

Yes, only gain.. Less reliable, and a mess to clean up if it gets clogged.. but I run 1/2" electric valves, so who am I to say anything, haha.

With electric valves, the only air line you have to run into the cab would be for the gauges...that's about the only other gain I can see.

To me its easier to run a wire and put a switch where ever I want it, rather than plumbing all the line into the interior of the truck.
