AIR GAUGES ON AIR RIDE?

[airridedude]

Hello,

I have the air struts on all four corners on my car. Have 2 dual needle gauges but my question is, like the 2 front bags, do they need to be exactly the same pressure on the gauges for the car to be even height, or can it vary a little and still be even height?

The air pressures don' t have to be the same. The best thing to do to make sure it is level is measure it with a tape. It is not uncommon for the pressures to vary a bit do to the weight distribution of the vehicle.

I too would like to know why NOT the air pressure does not let the viewer know his wheels are level. He paid for two guages, but all they tell him is there is about X psi air in each end??? Does he have to measure it to level himself, then check both psi' s? Then drop both ends by trial and error to 3" lower and verify the air pressure and eventually by spending half a day, come up with a chart????
Aren' t the guages accurate? Within how much might each end vary if his guages both say 12 pounds, for example?

Some INFO please!!!!!!!! For ALL of us !!!

The gauges are accurate. The weight at each corner of the vehicle is not always exactly the same. Therefore requiring a different air pressure. So, park the vehicle on a flat surface at ride height. Then measure the distance from the ground to the fender well lip, and adjust accordingly. If you end up running an extra 5psi in one side, you will just have to remember that.
Don' t forget to check the psi in you tires, before you start too.
