I'm refurbishing my air suspension, gutted by a PO, and I'm trying to determine the proper size for the air tank.I have a Viair 480C, which I assume to be more powerful than the original unit. I'm thinking 3 gallons may be the right size. I'd like to have enough air to change the pressure in the bags from low to high without having the compressor do all the work while it's being changed.
The PO took out the Height Control Valves and installed a "Air Lift" compressor (kinda small) routed directly to a set of solenoid valves with gauges in the dash and on to the air bags. As it presently sits I have only "raise" and "lower" functionality to each of the bags. Will I need/miss the auto leveling function?
If I can set the height by air pressure readings (and experience), I'd do without the expense of restoring the old system. Also is there an electronic replacement for the Height Control Valve so I could wire them up to air valves by the tank and don't need to run air hose everywhere.
