Didn't Spyder78 just become a vendor for UAS? Might want to get in contact with him.

Bose makes air suspensions & has some interesting info on the web. Check out this vid featuring your vehicle www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSi6J-QK1lw

The Bose suspension is a computer controlled, magnetic suspension; not hydraulic.

pretty simple:

compressor fills up tank
valves open and close via 12v switch & fills the 'bag' with air...

Honestly, you'll have a hard time filling up a 15min presentation on Air suspensions. I know aftermarket Air suspension systems inside n out and would have trouble myself

I guess you can go into.....
- hydraulics vs Air ( the reason why people moved from Hydros to Air...and why some are moving back)
- OEM Air setups...which are pretty much the same. Just under powered and slow as heck. Small air lines + slow valving systems=

- Standard Valves vs Manifold valves:
Manifold setups are cleaner, less trouble in general.
Standard valve setups are usually covered up because it looks like someone spilled a bowl of spaghetto in your trunk
- Valve speed(s) and line size
- Performance-like Air setups:

Just make sure u give GOOD info. theres lots of bad stuff going around because Air is getting popular with the Import crowd...who love to re-hash stuff they "heard on tha internets"

hope that helps. let me know if u need pics n diagrams and I'll see what I can do

I am not going to say I know much about air suspensions , but I know they are usually not as reliable as the more traditional type suspension set ups. Even the last gen LS430's had more issue with the air suspension set ups than did the standard set ups
