Air Bag switches
I'm in process right now of completing my air bag suspension.
I plan on doing just front and back, no side to side. I have everything set up as the front sit on the ground, though the rear still needs to be notched to be as low but for right now it works. I need some idea of how to mount the switches or do a box for them. Any ideas |

Re: Air Bag switches
not sure what year truck....
I have mine in the concol but I have the guages mounted into a radio delete panel..if I didn't have the consol I would have mounted the switches in the knob holes.....I just didn't want to cut the dash and it all fit nicely |

Re: Air Bag switches
Thanks guys,
GGInferno where did you find that gauge setup on the left that shows the oil pressure and such? All I'm running is 1 switch, power the compressor. 1 for front/ up/down, 1 for rear/ up/down, 1 for all up/down Its on a 63 longbed |

Re: Air Bag switches
Your going to hate the side to side air transfer with that set up. May as well do it right the first time.

Re: Air Bag switches
You can go with your 3 switches and eliminate the side to side roll by running 8 valves, a fill and a dump for each bag. That's how I'm doing mine.

Re: Air Bag switches
I'm running 8 values, just hooked all the switches up and we are good to go.
All that needs to be done now is the air compressor being hook up and making a cover for it. Dont want it to get rained on or anything like that. Might even put in another battery so I know I have the power......Hahah |
