Dear suspension guru's

I have a problem with my set up and hope one of you can help.
Where should I start, last year I lowered my pu 6.5/7 which was to low for common roads so I added helper bags into my front coils and a air lift sure set (http://airlift.r-catalog.com/ImgVD/A...594_25004.pdf). This set up worked but was slow and not what I have been looking for.
So I decided to bag fully, ordered RE7 and RE6, added an air tank, one Land Rover compressor and 3/8 lines all around.

But now I noticed that the valve block isn’t able to switch under pressure from the tank and the pressure which is shown on the display can’t be correct.

Do you have any suggestions for me how I can manage this problems?

My first thought was to add one 3/2 way valve between valve block and tank but I guess it wouldn’t be so easy to find a relais which switches correct. Also this wouldn’t solve the pressure problem on the display.

Next idea is to exchange the air lift block to 3/8” valves and some Pezio Pressure Transducers as they are used in air lifts new set up. This way would surely fasten up my system and seems to be a good choice for me but I don’t know this would work together or not.

So maybe you have advices for me or other solutions so please let me know.

Re: Dear suspension guru's

Ok it seems that nobody can recomend me a way to go. So what do you think about the Air Lift Auto Pilot Digital Control System?
Is this a good and troublefree way to go. Here's the link:

Please let me know what you think because I have to act fast. Who has experience with this set up.

Re: Dear suspension guru's

I have zero experience with the kit you are looking at. I have always used Air Ride Technologies valves and either their controller or a switch box or custom switch box. Make sure you get some feedback from somebody on the system your looking at (other than the people selling it to you). I would call around to a few well-know shops that carry the product AND INSTALL it. If they sell a few different systems, and install them, they should have some good feedback and suggestions. There's pros and cons to every system out there.
