    I never would have thought that it needed clarifying. :biggrin_2556:

    Technically you can do it. It would just be a really bad and expensive idea. :biggrin_25523:

    AG380? Can you actually get weight on your steering? Too bad it's such a light weight suspension. Not good for anything other than OTR freight. I do kinda like the new AG400L.

    No I do not; when replacing the leveling valve I would just take a measurement, then after installing the new valve, remeasure, and adjust if necessary.

    I have also checked the ride height measurements of my truck against other trucks, when in doubt, but if that truck has been set other than stock, not much is accomplished.

    Someone had posted that the way KW techs measure, and adjust, is rather technical, and involved. I wish someone would post the proper way, it would be nice to have that info.
     
    kenw007 Thanks this.
