My Accuair e-Level Install.... - Page 3 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Rokcrln · 03-29-2009, 05:58 PM

Hey I checked out your ride and the new system today. Their new system looks to be very promising and I think I will be setting one up in my 72 Tahoe here very soon.
Reno it was nice meeting you today and I look forward to doing business with you in the near future.

Welcome to the board!!

I will have to be the first to ask.

Will members of the board be given a discount as with most of the vendors here.

I am getting close to needing a system for my build, and I like what I see.

One question, will the leveling system only work with your valves, or would I just need an adapter for the connection.

Thanks, this looks like a very well designed system.

Rokcrln · 03-30-2009, 07:12 AM

If I read correctly they will work with all 12V valves and they even have some adapters so it is a plug and play system. If you have a valve that they do not have a plug for then you will need to wire it up your self.

Rokcrln, I'm glad you got to see the system in person. We got my system finished Thursday, and drove it Friday. I was blown away by how the system adjusts. Did Reno happen to show you how the system adjusts for weight being added after it was already at a set height?

Long63, the wishbone mounts to a tube welded to the rearend. The front of it mounts to my frame. I have no side to side movement.

I am going to do a movie in the next couple days. When I do I will post it.

Here are some pics from the show....

Twisted Minis · 04-12-2009, 02:59 PM

I see the Salinas Boys coupe on your site. I love that car.

I am very interested in this system. There are a few things I don't quite understand about the ride height setting. Do you manually set one ride height and turn the system on and it sets it to that height at all times? Or can you select more than one height? Does it tell you what height you are at, or do you select a few heights you like and use them like radio presets?

My computer struggles a bit with navigating the site, but I don't think I can find a price for the system? I have a personal project I am working on right now that I am interested in using this on. It's a full frame project, spindles and all. It will be a very visual chassis, so I would like to install this during the build process so it doesn't look like an afterthought on my end.

Rokcrln · 04-12-2009, 11:58 PM

You set one button for low, ride and full up. As for telling were you are at height wise a simple look at the lit button will tell you. So yes it is like a radio pre-set. Then the system learns how your vehicle reacts to each height change and then the next time it will be faster and more accurate until after a few times it sets you at the proper height at the first try with out the annoying up and down some systems give until it is set right.
I personally will be running this on my 72 C4 Tahoe 4dr.

Yea....I gotta get some o that!

Thanks for the vids!!!

dznucks · 04-22-2009, 06:37 PM

i am saving up for one of these systems. hope to buy it in the next few months. if theres going to be a group buy i want in, someone send me a message if that happens.

i have a question about the tank size. can i use a smaller tank than the one you offer in the kit? i am not interested in speed and i will rarely be changing the hieght except when i am hauling loads. i am looking at a pancake style tank that will fit under the bed were the spare tire or fuel tank would go.

just got my airlift 2600's from SD. thanks for the video thats what i was hoping to see.

badblu97 · 04-22-2009, 08:13 PM

just saw the videos and.........oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god......soooooo d&#n cool!!!! Im glad mines tore apart, I will be getting one of these for my truck!!!!

Twisted Minis · 04-22-2009, 10:15 PM

I officially want this.

ShowSS12 · 04-23-2009, 05:00 PM

wow............ any pictures of how you mounted the height indicators?

AccuAirSuspension · 04-23-2009, 05:36 PM

First, I have to congratulate Hill's Rod & Custom for some good videos and a very nice job on the install. Thanks guys!

Here are some pictures of how we mounted the sensors on one of our work-horse test mule C-10's. I almost feel bad posting them because this thing is so dirty and rusty. At the same time I guess it shows that our systems have been put to the test

For the front on this one, we wanted to try mounting the sensor on the A-arm instead of on the frame. It works fine this way, but we usually do it the opposite... mount the sensor to the frame near the shock and run the linkage down to the A-arm.

This isn't the best shot, but we just drilled the trailing arm where we found the travel was 2.75" (for the total suspension motion) and mounted the stand-off and ball stud through it.

Here is what our height sensor kit comes with for each corner. The linkage is just a threaded rod inside, so it can be cut down to any length very easily. The tubing around the outside is just air line, so you can then cut it down accordingly.

dznucks · 04-23-2009, 10:34 PM

Thanks for posting those pics.

So the 2.75" you mentioned. this is due to the stroke of the hieght sensor, correct? How did you find the exact location of that spot you attached the sensor? i understand you need to find that sweet spot between air'd out and air'd up is 2.75", but can you tell us how you located it.

in the first pic it looks like there is a tab welded on the A-arm that the sensor bolt mounts too. am i seeing that right?

dznucks · 04-23-2009, 10:37 PM

what is the stroke of the shocks you are using? compressed, extended?

64shortc10 · 04-23-2009, 11:20 PM

When the time comes to set up my air managment system, I will be running this for sure!!!!!!!!!!

64shortc10 · 04-23-2009, 11:23 PM

Plus seeing it in person on that layed out 60's burban at the goodguys show was very impressive. I love the controller it looks like an Iphone.
