In the red truck it basically eliminated bump steer. Ours is on a switch, you set it once and basically forget about it.
Every truck I've driven with those double convoluted air bags up front is horrible. Bump steer so bad you can't hold on to the wheel. The newer kits that use the AG400 KW bags seem to be better but still not fun. Every time the truck hits a bump the steering wheel turns. If you try and hold on to it the truck darts all over the road.
You can plumb it however you want but what's wrong with just using a leveling valve so you don't have to adjust the pressure? Friend insisted on using a regulator and he's always messing with it. It's either riding too high or too low.
The loadshare system came with the regulator. It seams to work pretty well once i figured out how much air i like in them. I was going to use a leveling valve on it until this came with the regulator.
Well the guy's here are on a switch too but regulators creep. I have them in my dash to control lift axles and whenever you put the axles up or down the pressures change. I just don't see the need for one when it could be much simpler.
The one truck here will be going down the road like a 1990's Lincoln Town car with blown rear bags and headlights pointing at the sky. Then he will bleed some off and it will be banging the bump stops with the bumper 2" off the road. I'll never understand his love for it.
Ive run an air ride by horse kit. Still run it on the weekends. Made a large difference if you ask me.
Since you can look at a horse kit you can correct me but I thought they still run double spring leafs from the axle to the front spring hanger?
man that looks sharp!
Heres a few more pics of it put together. Still lots of polishing left to do.
Looks 100% better. I just polished all the wheels on a 4 axle trailer so I don't envy you. A polisher is on my list of hated shop tools next to the air chisel and the ez out.
