"convenient, neat system. Automatic leveling system adds and releases air to rear bags as needed to level truck when hauling a load. Works great. I'm thinking about trying one modification. I plan to try installing a relay on the power wire to the system and running a light guage wire and switch into the cab. Once a load is added and proper compressor function is achieved. I can cut the power and stop the system from continually releasing air and then adding air again and again. I can't think of another method to achieve this, but I think it will work fine in this manner.
Great Buy through AutoAnything. I checked everywhere.

"Don't by intimidated by all the wires, everything is labeled where it goes. I made a bracket to mount the compressor and solenoid. Without rushing it took most of day to install the air bags and Smartair Controller. With it installed for a couple weeks now, it made a huge improvement when towing a 16' utility trailer, backend doesn't sag and less bounce from bumps in the road when towing. It also reduced the rear-end of the Dakota stepping out when going through a curve that has bumps or washboard in it when empty. Was initially concerned about the price, but it's much better than overload (heavy duty) springs."

"Piece of cake to install. Just plan some time to do it, it took me about 3 hours. Best tip I can give for the installation is to have good cobalt drill bits on hand. Maybe one more tip might be to take down your spare tire and mount compressor and air valve to frame using the spare to cover it ( seemed like it would be better protected there). The system works perfectly. Keeps the truck absolutely level, maybe to level. Compressor kicks in just about every time I move the truck to put sometime in the bed. My girlfriend says its going to make her self conscious and of course it dumps air just as often when things are removed. I am going to set the sensing switch a little higher so more weight has to go in the truck before it compensates. I still give the Smart Air system a 10 out of 10."
