Air Ride Suspension for a Chevelle

[darren@ridetech]

JRouche...
I am assuming you have the RidePro E2 control system. One thing that we changed w/ the new RidePro E3 system is the ability to "tap" the buttons and make smaller changes in pressure. With the E2, no matter how quick you tapped the button, it would still open the valve for a certain amount of time.

That being said... you are also correct, using psi to level a car in some cases (depending on suspension design and which air springs are used) is not always the best method. Height sensors may be required. On our dually for example, we use a very large air spring on the back to be able to have enough load capacity to haul our 45 enclosed trailer. But unloaded it only requires about 35psi to lift it to ride height. In "most" cases the pressure based systems will hit the target pressure within 2-3 psi. Being off 3 psi can change your spring rate almost 10%. Most passenger cars require 75-90 psi to achieve ride height, 3 psi is only 3-4%.



With your E2, you can change the speed setting to enable it to hit your presets a little closer. Usually around 3 works best.
