Hi all,

My 63' Belair will be getting back on the road soon (currently getting a 481W and a 6-speed swap) and will need some suspension updates. I'm rocking a 1st generation Air Ride Technologies setup with big red valves, and it's always been a leaky mess. I've been out of the game for a while now so I'm not sure who are all the top players are in this space. Ride Tech, Accu-air, Air Lift? Who and what should I be looking at? Are the ride height sensors worth the hassle? They look like another piece to fail and complicate matters. I don't need bags or suspension, just the valves and controller. I need something with a dedicated physical controller, I refuse to use my phone.

Thanks in advance,
Eric

The E5 system we came out with a few years ago is the best one I've personally ever worked with. It has all of the typical features you would want and it's been very tried and true since it came out. On the valves leaking, I would say we need to look at the shape of the plungers and internals of it. Let me know if you need any help.

Here is a link to the new electronics. It will work with the older tank, valve, and compressors you have: https://ridetech.com/product/e5-air-ride-control-system/
