Anyone have any experience with either one of these systems that control the ride height and have sensors that monitor the height to make sure that all 4 corners are stable no matter what different loads you put in the car, like passengers or items in the trunk. I have been looking at the Air Ride Technologies Level Pro system and the Dakota Digital Automatic Digital Ride height controller. They both do basically the same thing just wondering if one of them does it better as it is about $400 more retail? Or is there another system out there that people have tried that works well?

level pro is a pressure based system that is baller! it is very accurate. i love it compared to the dakota digital. not on my car but on a friend's car we did an install on.

Air Ride Technologies is the best on the market. I think they have height AND pressure sensors depending on which setup you buy. I hear it's extremely accurate since it has both height and pressure sensors. They are very pricey though.

they both use the same oem style self leveling sensors. I believe the sending units are the same also. I've never dealt with the Dakota tech support but I can tell you the Air Ride Technology people are great to deal with. I've had one sending unit go bad on my 39 Chevy but they replaced it right away. No other problems. I have the Air Ride Technology controllers on all 3 of my bagged rides.
Youve seen the Lexus already,

Thanks for the info guys. They both utilize height and pressure to monitor the car so I guess it just boils down to tech support and backing of product. Im still not sure if it is worth the $400 for the airride, but I do like their contoller. There was an LS460 on here that had the dakota digital oval controller maybe I should see if I can find it and pm the owner.

What I like is that you can have people in the car and it will keep the car at an even height no matter how the load is spread throughout the car, thus you can set it at a decent height for everyday driving and not worry about chewing your tires up with negative camber

how long have you been using their system in your cars speedaddic? Anyone know where I can get the level pro kit for less than the $1295 listed on their site?

I've run the one in the 39 for almost 4 years now. The truck is a year and the lexus is just a month or so...

I like the way the way the level pro looks.
I have the air lift /easy street set up which does not tell ride heights.
I wish it did as my shocks were not welded together properly .
Truthfully though if i had matching shocks all around i don;t think i might need the levelers. After a couple of weeks you learn pretty quick when you need to raise it.
It is mainly the back shocks which has lower pressure that you will notice the height difference as well .

That being said , again i would like to have the levelers depending on what the price difference is for all 3 systems.
I have to say company support is a major factor as well and easy street has been there for me.

The levelers are like peace of mind, knowing no matter what different type of load you carry the car will be level. I am just hoping someone with some dakota digital experience will chime in, otherwise the airride system is the one I will go with.

I must have missed this ..

I have The Airride LevelPro 2 and Digital air controller for 2 years now ..





And I paid 1295 , they have held price thou as its a great company ,


the dakotal digital is a good system I have like 3 friends running it , but I'm the only one with Airride Tech

Over all I love it, only issues with the sensors is when you have your car jacked up and when you have the wheel hanging it stresses the sensors as it pulls it down too ...
