D2 Air Management with Height Sensors

An air management system typically includes a compressor, air tank, valves or a valve block, pressure sensors or switches, airlines, a control unit or switches, and in full air setups, height sensors. Together they control how air is delivered to the airbags or struts and how the system maintains or adjusts ride height.

Yes. Any automatic ride-levelling or preset height system requires an air tank so there is enough stored air to raise the vehicle quickly without overworking the compressor. The tank buffers demand and allows smoother, more reliable height changes.

Manual systems use simple paddle valves or switches to control air pressure by feel, and are typically used for Load Assist or basic custom setups. Electronic systems use solenoid valves, height sensors and an ECU to manage presets and maintain ride height automatically. Legal full-air conversions generally require some form of automatic height control.

Regulations typically require that major ride-height changes do not occur while the vehicle is in motion. Electronic air management systems usually monitor handbrake or vehicle speed and only allow height changes when stationary or below a defined speed, to maintain safety and stability.

The D2 Air Management System supports a lift range suitable for most standard air suspension applications. For optimal performance, it is recommended to measure the gap between the axle and chassis at the bump stop area to determine the best setup for your desired ride height.

The 'Lock out' system is a safety feature that prevents the adjustment of ride height while the vehicle is in motion. This ensures that the vehicle maintains stability and safety during operation, only allowing changes when stationary.

Height sensors provide real-time feedback on the vehicle's ride height, allowing for automatic adjustments to maintain the desired level. This feature enhances ride quality and stability, particularly when carrying varying loads or navigating uneven terrain.

Yes, the D2 Air Management System includes a manual adjustment option in addition to its preset ride heights. This allows users to fine-tune the suspension settings based on their specific needs or preferences.
