Can you post up some pics and pricing? Also any info you can share about them. Appreciate it! Cory

This was meant for Jason. I was going to PM, but I know others are interested also.

I don't have any pics of the switch by itself, but you can get a good idea of them. They are very easy to use and are a nice slow speed. I believe they go for about $30 each. I have them on the back of my truck and when I do the front, I will be putting them on there too. I used them because I wanted something very controllable.

Hope this helps...

I can't even get the AVS website to pull up, after several seconds of it trying to load the site it times out. How much does the whole thing cost that you pictured above? My brother put airbags on his trailer and I was telling him about these manual valves.

Jason....

Tell me about the "Auto Pilot" from Air Lift. I see you guys sell them, pros cons etc.

Thanks!

That set up I made for my actual truck. It will control all four bags independently. It runs about $200. If you bought all the pieces separately, would be about $260.

My honest opinion. There are better kits out there. Don't get me wrong, the auto pilot is a good kit with a lot of nice features. The only problem that I see with this kit, is that it self adjusts by air pressure. So for instance, if your ride height set at 120 psi and that keeps you at 6 inches off the ground. Then someone gets in your vehicle, and their weight drops your truck an inch, but raises your psi level to say 140. Now the auto pilot is going to drop the pressure back to 120psi. Which in turn drops your truck another inch. Now your ride height is two inches lower then you had it set at. This can easily be corrected with a tap of the over ride button, but you would be doing this every time more weight is added to your vehicle. The cool thing about this kit though, is that it has a digital read out of all your bags and your tank. So you can keep an eye on the pressure in your entire system.
Hope that kinda helped, let me know if you need any more info.

Manual valves. pretty cool kinda old school as far as air ride goes.I like it.I thought about doing this to.

Rokcrln · 01-12-2010, 11:18 PM

Yes I ordered a simmular set up for a customer build from FBI who accepted my payment then never shipped half my order and went out of business

So I need 2 more sets but only with one gauge and two switches per set. It will be for a front rear control on 2 different vehicles. What kind of price am I looking at and do you have them in stock ready to ship?

I really like them. All my other truck have been done with 1/2" or 3/4" valves and line. And I've kinda grew out of that hopping stage. Lol. They are very controllable and not too slow and not fast. I was actually sitting next to a cop driving home and was super low. I was able to lift my truck to nearly stock while he was there and never even knew. I thought that was pretty funny...

redsled04 · 01-15-2010, 10:07 PM

I agree about the hopping as i get older i still want to roll low.But im not to wooried about it going up so fast or down.

They are sold in pieces, but I have this unit here because I am not ready to install it all yet. So if you want this exact one, I can let you have it complete. Just let me know...

jjjmm56 · 01-19-2010, 11:42 PM

Can these be stepped up to 3/8 after the control ? I've allready run 3/8 lines and fittings.

Yes, it will just take a few more fittings, but it can be stepped up to 3/8".

glendale · 01-27-2010, 10:56 PM

so i'm new to this whole thing. would this eliminate all of the electric components? besides the compressor?

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 01-27-2010, 11:18 PM

Yep. Air in from tank; air out to bag (w/a T-fitting to a 1/8" airline for the gauge). It purges the air from the bags @ the paddle switch.

Items needed are:
Compressor(s)
tank(s)
paddles switches
dual needle gauges
airline

Will these work for a front only set up? I have bags brackets 1/2 air lines tank and compressor I just need to know where to go from here? Manual valves sounds easy and cheaper! Thanks for the help!
