Thanks, it looks to be a magnet attached to the axle and a linear induction coil/sensor attached to the frame. The only thought that comes to mind is, you'd want the suspension height sensor to be in the middle, right over the diff. When out 4 wheeling and flexing, the sensor on one side would cause some pretty interesting results. When that side gets stuffed the system pumps up, and when it drops the system deflates.

If you plan to really articulate your suspension, I wouldn't go with air bags unless you find something like the Daystar cradles for the F150. Otherwise, you're just asking for a blown out bag.

I did this one. https://www.airliftcompany.com/produ...s/ridecontrol/

Easy install, cut the air lines with a fresh razor perfectly perpendicular. Leak free for months now. I check it about once a week but the 5-7pounds I leave in there hasn't budged. When I hook up my trailer I've found that between 16-and 22 pounds of pressure does the trick. I use a bike pump, eeeezzzzy peeeezzzzy.

I also run a level kit, rear Hellwig sway bar and Equalizer hitch. The whole set up feels like one solid unit.
