Thread: P38 EAS a couple of Qs

The single valve system does load levelling on a truck rear suspension system which is a very rigid set-up, but is unsuitable to a normal vehicle set-up because it doesn't maintain a pre set levelling height at each wheel. It would maintain the correct level at the point where the valve is mounted but the rest of the vehicle could be leaning in any direction based on a myriad of factors. In order for the system to work on a normal vehicle one valve needs to be mounted at each wheel.

correct, i would envisage one on each side at the rear for self levelling only, and a dump valve for lowering to load or hitch vehicle.
