Air ride suspension

[Russell]

I have a 2003 Ford E350 Hard top Econoline 4x4 EB 7.3. Recently upgraded the suspension at Argile. Lookng to see if anyone has a similar van that has installed an air system, bags front and back, no leaf springs, self leveling.
I'm in the market if its better. What is your experience, what is your opinion?
I'm a little top heavy, looking to be able to lower it when on the freeway and raise it when needed.
Looking forward to your response.
Also if you do have a van that is a exact match I'm also looking to install a inner cooler, if you know of a mechanic that can or has installed one on this unit i'm interested.
Cheers

Makes for a nice smooth ride on the freeway. Great for pulling trailers. Worth the cost? Not really, would i do it again? No

I dont think alot of people understand how much goes into a properly installed air suspension system. You have to install a main reservoir, ping tanks, airlines, wiring, fittings, switches, kneeler valves, height control valves, auto drains or manual drains to drain out condensation, air heater, air dryer, etc....

Air suspension comes with its own unique issues, if you want maintenance free operation youre better off sticking with your leaf springs. If the cost for these systems wasnt so rediculous my opinion might be different.
