    Yep, I have 5 holes that I can set my leveling valve in. My “normal position” is the middle hole and that’s where it’s calibrated, even if I need to raise or lower the suspension for a load I check it in that position then adjust it for travel.

    @nikmirbre

    Was this valve adjustment setup already on your trailer when you bought it or did you have that added to it?

    I ordered it from pee Dee trailer sales in Florence sc. Right down the road from the the Petro. When you google it make sure it’s the one in Florence on Black creek rd.

    I believe I paid $120 for it.

    I can from the over ride valve on the back, but it's not for riding down the road really.

    I'd like to have one like @nikmirbre has that actually changes the position of the leveling valve.

    It took me the longest time to realize the over ride valve was NOT for riding down the road!!
