Default Air Ride Question

Question for anyone running Air Ride in their 14+.... are you running analog or digital guages? if so where did you mount them? Also looking for some pictures of your setup and controller locations. I know I have seen someone that installed the controller where the wrist rest is, I think I might go that route.

I plan to run UAS bags/brackets and Accuair management system if that helps.

Hey Josh,
I definitely will. I'm looking to bag my 2015 F Sport pretty soon and im just not sure if I was going to even bother with gauges this time. I had a full show truck/daily before my Lexus and I had analog gauges but I never really looked at them, I just knew the height from how much I used the air ride.

Do you suggest Airlift 3P over the Accuair E-level?

Is this because of ease of install/use or does it hold up better? I was thinking of eventually getting the Endo CVT tank from Accuair but I dont want to spend the money if it isnt up to par with Airlift. They are around the same price.

Ease of use. I'm currently running the 2p system and it's super easy to use. I would like to eventually upgrade to a 3P system but there's no need for it right now.

I heard we lose the rear swaybar with the air ride? Is this true?

I just got the airlift kit installed. They dont do a bag over coil style for the rear. It's a bag that replaces the spring, and a new strut. I don't run into endlink issues, but putting it on is a different story, as there's barely and room for my fat hands.

Running airrex here and had a hint of touching so I did a small mod to endlink by removing a washer and it never rubbed after
