What pressure switch is recommended to use for air bag assisted suspension
636505
I didn't have to replace the pressure switch, but I would check out a complete set of the airbags with onboard air and see if there is a part number for the pressure switch.

I didn't use a pressure switch... My system is relay activated by a switch... When I need more pressure I hit the in cab switch... This way I can adjust myself between the fifth wheel camper... The boat.... And the equipment trailer... All need different pressures.. I found that riding level doesn't always ride right... If I ride level with the camper it is far too harsh of a ride...

The kits usually come with a preset switch, which I believe is set at 100 psi

I keep 120 psi in the tank. I keep 10psi in the bags at all times. I run as high as 60psi for a heavy load. For a average load 20-30psi in the air bags. I hope this helps!

You can adjust the air pressure at any time. If you had the pressure set to say 30psi and then load the weight of your 5th wheel, the pressure in the bags would tend to increase . . . but the Air Lift 25870 WirelessONE Compressor System automatically compensates and keeps the pressure at 30psi. (30psi just used as an example) I leave my pressure at 5psi until after I load my trailer. I then adjust the pressure to 50psi for towing.

Hi, If you go to AssuredAutomotiveProducts com and do input ''90217'' in quick search window, th correct pressure switch for the Viair 20005 air source will appear. Thanks, ASSURED AUTOMOTIVE COMPANY

It should be able to. I ran my air shocks around 60 psi and the info on the bags say 50 psi so it should be capable of supporting them. Be sure to check your lines for leaks and check them again about a week later to make sure you don't have any problems. Mine worked great and it was easy to adjust the pressure.

The controller kit incluedes the compressor, gauge, wire and hose. The spring (lift) kit has two bags and mounting hardware, airhose and fittings to use the system with an external air source (e.g. gas station air compressor, bicycle tire pump, etc.) I purchsed both kits - installed same IAW instructions. Works great - careful not to kink hoses and put chaffing protection where the hoses are clamped to the frame.

There is the NPT thread that you have to assemble it to your compressor in order for the "Pressure " switch to work. That is the reason why it is called a " Pressure" switch. What did you think it was for????

I can't give an accurate answer regarding the air suspension. I have a torsion bar suspension and the upper control arm is more of a guiding component with alignment affects. The lower control arm is tied to the frame by the torsion bar and this is were the weight of the suspension is supported. I would suggest using a cross reference of model years and try to verify compatibility.

I'm not an expert and the ones I installed were for a Dodge Ram 3500 dually which a 10' camper with slide and towing a trailer with pretty heavy tongue weight. What I found after installation that they were unnecessary after I installed some Torklift StableLoad blocks to my Dodge. They have Quick Disconnect versions for the Ford application and these were the best improvement to handling of anything I ever did. If I were to do it again, no airbags, just StableLift...you're lucky to have the option for the Ford I don't for the Dodge.

the pressure switch is connected by a cord, flexible and good length if you want/need to use it. I have mine set to just twist on. That's the great thing about this set up you can make it work with whatever you want it to. keep the cords on hand... never know what the future will bring.

I think you can adapt the lines to the airbag kit in the similar way as I did to air shocks, however depending on the bags it may take longer to fill and make sure you have enough PSI. good luck.

When adding air pressure to the air springs, remember that they have a much smaller volume of air that a tire so they will inflatemuch quicker. Add air pressure in short bursts until the vehicle is level. (NEVER EXCEED 100psi IN EACH AIR SPRING.).that is from the manufacturer, I believe my gauge goes to 110psi, I'd never get to that pressure anyway, hope that helpsNote the manufacturer recommends to keep a minimum of 10 psi in the air bag at all time.

as the picture shows the helper springs fit directly over the leaf springs. If your overload airbags fit/attach over the axle and do not go over the area of the leaf springs the two should work together.

you can use any compressor you want but the pressure limits on the bags stay the same. over pressuring the bags will result in damage. The compressor supplied with the system from Air lift is specifically designed for there system and has a relatively low duty cycle (running on time compared to off time) and is not suitable for charging an air tank. A separate compressor with long running duty cycle should be used for tank charging. Hope this helps.

The user manual can be found at the link below. They mention you can use an air wrench. I do agree with Paul below that using an impact increases the chance of injury so only a trained professional should attempt that method and as always use safety equipment.http://atdtools.com/7585

Maybe if you can pass this per Amazon = Notes: w/o ZR2 Highrider Package; w/o ZQ8 Sport Package; For Towing & Hauling; Use Monroe PN[AK18] to Replace Single Air Shock Fill System if Necessary; Use Monroe PN[AK64] to Add Separate L/R Air Shock Fill System if Desired

I contacted Chapin Customer Support and they confirmed that the pressure regulator was eliminated as part of a rolling change (even though their manual still shows it). They moved away from that on all backpack models. Amazon needs to update their product description so as not to continue misleading customers.

I installed mine on a 2002 Pontiac Bonneville. Since my original air pump was working fine, I chose not to replace the spring. I believe the spring replacement is a precautionary move just to ensure you are not looking at a failure some time down the road and have to get back under the car. Air shocks of any kind will not give you a soft ride as comparable to standard gas or fluid shocks. I do not feel my ride is harsh, but I do know the rear bushings need replacement, and they are instrumental in helping cushion the rear suspension and allowing the parts to move freely. I would look there before replacing the air shocks. I had thought about doing that to but decided I preferred having the automatic load leveling.
