Default TEDSBOX gets down first pics

Ted + Airlift and Airride components ( Airlift front air struts and rear bag set, and Airride Technologies Level Pro control system), and a very long weekend and now TEDSBOX look like this:









Really like the Level Pro. It has mechano/electric ride height sensors that tell its computer what height the car is. The computer then meters enough air pressure to each corner or the suspension to accurately reproduce this height ( to within 1/4 inch or less at all 4 corners, usually within 1/8 inch). It has memory to save 3 different suspension height settups... press a button and reproduce the saved setting. Ride height noted and saved at alignment is accurately reproduced day after day No alignment worries. No pondering what pressure to put today (it varys a hell of alot with temperature). I'm lovin it!!

Yeah it didn't take too much arm twisting since the 2" drop I had put my kit in jeopardy a little too often for my tastes. With this setup I just hit button 3 and up it goes to "clear speed bump height" and over I go. Next I hit button 2, Hisss, Hisss, Hisss and it auto returns to ride height

I don't know/remember the size but I bought mine on eBay. They're chrome in color and look invisible with the corners cleared but they glow amber to remain legal (legal where I live at least) Quality wise, they've worked fine, are plenty bright, and haven't had a burn out for over 25k miles so far.

Looking great Ted. That is exactly what your box needed. I'm glad your son talked you into it.

And excellent choices on the air suspension components. Though ART isn't my top choice for air management, they make some excellent products.

Does someone else make a computer controlled mechanical based )not pressure based) leveling system?? if so please post as I would like to check out their stuff as well to compare to what ART had. I am not aware of anyone except ART with this type system.

Awesome job Ted! I just ordered the exact same kit from Air Lift yesterday. What rear shocks are you using? The Air Lift website says you can get about 1" lower in the rear if you go with shorter shocks.

Looks great!!
