[QUOTE="GO BIG OR GO HOME, post: 1454777, member: 1392"] So I finally got the suspension problem squared away I think. Like i said before, I got under the truck and located the height control valve. I undid the linkage and moved the arm on the valve up and down some and nothing would happen. No air entering or exiting the bags. The only time i got any action was to move the arm to its farthest mechanical limits and i would get slow air movement. So i went ahead and removed the valve and called Hadley, the manufacturer of the valve. They were super helpful in confirming my diagnosis and making sure that i got the correct replacement part. So the day after the part comes in, i decide to slam my finger in the door of a s10 blazer that i was working on.....the door actually shut completely and latched with my finger in the very small gap between door and quarter panel. This left me short a fingernail and with a finger the size of a banana so i let a few days go by before i attempted the reinstall lol. Anyways, got the new height control valve in and now the suspension auto adjust like it should, and very quickly i might add! For the time being i set the ride height in the middle of airbag travel. I read somewhere at what height it should be set and i want to say it is supposed to have more travel one way than the other but i haven't found those numbers yet. I thought the truck rode good empty before....now it rides like a dream! I haven't put any weight on it yet (want to confirm the ride height setting) but i think I've got it licked now. One thing i did notice now since the kneeling feature(flip a switch in the cab and dump all the air from rear bags) is working now is that it seems that the passenger side bag may inflate just slightly more than the driver's side. Like less than half an inch, not really noticeable with the suspension at ride height but when you dump the air it sits down on the driver's side first. I looked at the bags at ride height and the passenger's side does look just a touch taller but i couldn't take measurements or investigate further because it got dark and i was hungry lol. I'm gonna try to get some vids of the suspension uploaded Sent from my SM-G928V using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
