Hi,
Which model Billies did you get?

came across the following options for height control
https://riderite.com/-/media/www/rid...lManual_EN.pdf
These control height via a manual sensor. you set your ride height with it, and plumb the air through it, it then increases or decreases pressure based on sensor position. I'm told it has a delay, but I'm not sure how much and how it would function offroad with extremes of axle articulation.

this option could be better. Simply maintains air pressure. which perhaps could be a good thing as the sensors would not be causing pressure changes. Plus does away with the complications of height sensor installation. I wonder how it would be viewed from an engineering signoff point of view. How do they define self leveling? this system would self level, at a given load.
For front and back installations, you could link both axles and just control front and back and not get side to side leveling. They don't seem to have a system that does all 4 corners.
Just confirming you have replaced your coils with bags.....I.e. no coils.Quote:

Cool, thanks for that, good to see they perform.Quote:

I have an ARB compressor with a 150psi pressure switch plumbed into a 9lt air tank under the tray and have the incab controller with LED pressure gage on the dash

I run the pretty much the same as you......airbag man kit, twin arb compressor, airbag man digital gauge and paddle switches.....very happy with the mod mod.Quote:

Could those with the Airbag Man rear kit advise how it affected overall suspension travel, in particular droop? I can see that the bump stop spacer reduces theoretical compression travel, which is ok with me because my tyres and current spring rate dont let me get near the bump stops anyway. However I'd be reluctant to give up much droop travel.
Putting the question another way, does droop travel run out before the shock is at full extension, or is the shock the extension limiter with some further travel once the shock is disconnected?
When I get around to replacing my rear shock I will be measuring pin to pin and getting a shock to suit the bag....Quote:
