Liquid Spring

[eyemgh]

Makes no sense on a light duty truck. I can it being helpful for a medium duty like the f550 where in order to get the 16,000 lbs load rating you need a lot of stiff springs.

I also don't know why anyone would spend 12k on a Carli kit. YOu can get THuren coils for like $350, The kings are the same price either way and Thuren will tune them for you and your application, Carli will not. The rest of the parts are all bolt on. I could put a full Carli Thuren kit on in my driveway drinking beer the whole time.

Looks like no Ford for Thuren.

Whey you're 50 miles down a FRS there's one can always get more air but silicone oil will be hard to find anywhere.

I think if there‘s a fluid leak, we‘d be limping out on the stops. That’s a real concern.

This whole exercise has got me thinking that bags that are adjustable on the fly might be the way to go. I'd previously ruled that out due to the complexity.

An air compressor with manual 3 way (dump/fill) solenoid and pressure guage for each corner isn't complex.

I wonder if the Liquid Spring has/will have a low tech / manual option? Why have electronic leveling while offroad?

I'll research that more.

Electronic leveling for off-road, while parked is more of a luxury than a necessity. I level just fine right now without it. It's just a pain. I do it not for a refrigerator or anything mechanical. I'm sensitive to sleeping off level.

We have a rig at work, new cylinder every year left or right about 600$ a pop to keep her butt off the ground. No thanks

This happens more than you think

That probably killed it for me.
