    sls replacment,with manual system.

    trying to convert the d2 to the standard rear airbags setup.only problem is the wireing to the BCU is not there,so working on another way to control the height.you can buy kits with its own black box and solinoids,height sensors etc but the price is nearly higher than the car is worth.hoe about fitting these,thay are a manual auto system that simply dumps or fills the airbags all from the height sensor, anyone tried this setup or can see issues. https://www.hendrickson-intl.com/CMS...3-50b95500aed9

    On my boat trailer with air springs I simply ran a pair of these

    2 Manual Paddle Valve Switches Control Air Ride Suspension AirLift Performance | eBay

    Some air lines and small 9L air tank with shraider valve in it. Fill the tank to whatever pressure compressor gets to 120psi or so - then use manual paddles to up and down the bags till it runs out of air

    Dumb and simple

    I have two eyes and can judge angle / height pretty well !!! Don’t need no stinkin sensors

    using the Hendrickson sensors it would be auto levelling including side to side and load sensing,with a boat you would know the weight and only have to adjust it once.

    You could say the same about a vehicle
    How often do you change the loading significantly
    Fuel burn I’ll pay but the height change from 60-70kg just behind the rear axle wouldn’t be huge

    Hendrickson have been playing air springs since their inception and I’m sure that h
    Those jiggers will work perfectly
