Default Air management system

so I have been looking around and I see 2 good height management systems accurate e-level and the air lift 3h so my question is I can't find any detail on what's the difference or which is better I googled it and looked on other forums but still come up with nothing. A lot of the comparison is auto pilot v2 vs the e level

I personally do not have much experience with air suspension but from doing my own research it seems to be based solely on price and preference. AccuAir has been in the air suspension game for quite some time and their experience and quality show for it with the amount of support they have. AirLift 3H is a much newer product but those who have gotten them are completely satisfied. I would say to go with your budget (which I believe AirLift is cheaper)

I have had Accuair eLevel for about 3 years now. As soon as I save up some money I will be switching to Airlift 3H. They just have the edge on Accuair right now when it comes to height based systems. With eLevel if you don't hook up your sensors right away or if your sensors fail or break you do not have any presets at all...you have to get out of your car and level it by eye. With 3H if something happens with your sensors you will always still have presets based on pressure because it will default to 3P. That to me is a big selling point.

I have the Airlift 3H performance. Haven't got around to installing the height sensors - too lazy at the moment :P
It works pretty darn good just in pressure mode and it's nice to have an app to control the management via bluetooth.
The iPod like display is also nice to have on the Airlift, I don't believe Accuair gives you pressure readings.

Though I do like Accuair's upcoming Endo CVT (compressor valve tank).
Too bad it wont work with the Airlft 3H system

For the price though, Airlift Performance seems to be the way to go.

It's not, but a lot of people don't like height based systems because of the complicated installation. I much prefer height leveling over pressure.
