I've noticed some buses have been converted to manual ride height adjustment by the owners,, I want to do the same ,Can anyone tell me what and how to do it ?,,what valves and gauges that I'll need,, Now whenever we stop overnight and park ,,I have to get out my 2x10 blocks to try and level the coach, any help would really help,, I've seen some articles about doing this conversion in the past ,,but have been unable to find them I have a 6-92 and Allison auto trans

I installed a unit from        http://www.hb-industries.com/   It was a 4 gage 4 valve unit 1 for each corner . Put in a check valve, a gage for incoming air off the acc. tank .Removed all org. air lines , plugged . Installed 4 new 1/4 " air lines ( 1 for each corner ) Now I can move up or down to level each corner when camping . Adjust back to org. ride height when on the road . Now the bus can sit for months and not be uneven as they don't leak like the rest of the air system.   Now you will have to call them as I don't see the system on there web site. I installed it in 2006,I think the cost was about $ 550. at the time

Similar  only with Firestone ride rights buttons and Gauges, Each set of bags is independent. 1 air supply line that goes to a cross and tee and then to each valve. 4 lines 1 from each corner to fill. The buttons are up/ down. down is exhaust.

Brake system is a separate system. My bags stay up as long as I want them to.
