It's easy to set the ride height without the side effects of the height valve time delay and deadband.
It does work best with adjustable links...

All you have to do is:

1. remove the link from the bogie to the height valve. ( the sensor will now be in the middle its deadband )
2. adjust the coach height in manual mode to the middle of the height range.
3. adjust the link so you can reconnect the link without changing the position of the height valve
4. Done

This will eliminate any need to bounce the suspension or wait for the valve to adjust the height.
this is what I did before I got rid of the stock system

Thanks! makes sense. I also just received an emailed .pdf of the 77-78 supplement from a fellow member... Thanks all!
