What are you looking to know?

One push of a button, and the ride height is restored from layin low or risin' high...

From the looks of it, it uses pressure sensors to restore the ride height. As long as the weight of the truck, passengers and load doesn't change too drastically, then it should do the job. Otherwise, you'll have to change the pressure at some or all of the bags to retain the ride height under load. It does seem to have some descent features and the package looks clean. Easy Street has an installation manual on-line if you're looking for more details on the install as well as the operation of the set-up. Your other option is to consider a system that uses ride height sensors rather than pressure sensors. This type of system will restore the ride height regardless of the changes in gross vehicle weight. But, you're looking a double the cost.

@boxrodz
I am just not sure about the quality, the components looks good and seem to be a good way to have all. And I think the 3/8 valves should be fast.
The only thing is that i don't know if I should trust air lift products anymore because as I menzioned above mine sure set doesn't work really well after one year of use.
So I just wanna to know if anybody here as some experience with this set up but it seems nobody has installed it yet.
At the moment I decided to wait for an reply by suicidedoors.

All together I believe this is a real good set up and if I compare a old school system with that the difference in pricing isn't that big and a lot less lines (gauges) are necessary. A all in one package with only data cable to the cab.

But as I said it is a lot of money so I want some more information before ordering, keep in mind I have to calculate with addidtionally 35%-45% for Shipping, customs, VAT and clearence.
