    an electric dump for suspension is ok when you stay hooked up to trailer but if you want a dump for sus. for when you are dropping trailer not a good idea. when you unhook your lines the bags will air back up when you take away the electric. with what is left in your air tank on the trailer and stress your landing gear.

    I mean I want to replace the shorted dump valve I have now.
    That is on a switch inside the cab that only drops the REAR axle air bags.

    Then, to solve my issue for when I want to dump ALL of the air bags,
    I can replace the trailer leverler valve with one that dumps ONLY when trailer air is removed.

    This is the Hendrikson HCV I think will work perfectly to solve my original issue...
