Airride 4 way on a budget

[Perpendicular]

I currently have a 2 way AirRide Technologies suspension setup that is cool and all, but I want it to be better.

How can I convert to a 4 way, without the ugly 4 switches and 2 gauges under the dash but still have the ability to see my air levels and control all 4?

I am asking first off because with the 2 way, the air can go from side to side if cornering and I would rather not have that due to rubbing. And secondly I don't really like the current setup under the dash.

I have seen 4 way valves with controllers for $500+ and then a gauge set that is discrete for $400 so that is $900+ just to go 4 way. Am I missing something?

I almost wish I could go to a static drop, or tub out the rear just a little bit to make it better but hoping someone will have some advice.

Here is a couple of picks of what I am dealing with. I also am testing a spacer to push the wheel out some but have not decided to keep them just yet.

This is without the spacer



This is with



This is with some of the suspension aired up, not drive height though.



Gap without spacer which is why I am so concerned - it does rub with this wheel and tire combo.









Air out and wheel is touching the fender trim.

Have you thought about converting over to the new RidePro X digital system? Using this would allow you to have everything you need on your smart phone without having to have switches and gauges mounted to your dash. Check out the link below to see the new system.

Thanks John - does that setup include the manifold or is it just the controller? My current setup has the two valve panel in the cab with no manifold elsewhere.

That is my dilemma, I think I need a manifold and a controller but have everything else.

If your compressor and tank are still in good shape, you could use the above system and ad our 4 way RidePro valve block and you should be good to go.

curious on what wheel spacers you used

Then I am almost $2K I may have to go that route, but trying to see what other options there are.

I appreciate the response!

I bought these. They are really nice spacers and fit perfectly.

No problem at all.
Another option would be to buy another 2 way block and link them together. Those blocks run about $250 but would be compatible with your current block just by linking them together with a few fittings.
