air ride control
has anybody ever put one of the air lift controllers in to replace the factory air ride system to give more control over the air bag system?i was thinking of trying a kit like this one eventually but kinda wanted some input from the forum.its meant to control two springs side to side but i dont see any reason it couldnt control all four but just front to back like the system does now.

I have that setup on my Expedition. I do not have the air suspension, just the added bags. I do not know if it would work or not. If the volume and pressure is enough on the airlift compressor I think it might. Another option with that system is to add another control manifold. This would give you control over all four corners independently still using just one remote. At least the install instructions say you can do this.

My Navigator has issues with wanting to list to one side that I've been working to correct.
It is a difficult system to understand on these trucks. My Mark VIII had a height sensor on each corner so it was no problem to adjust each to get the car level. With only two sensors the truck is expected to raise or lower evenly on either end but what do we do for side to side if it dosen't?
