Pressuryte in Minitruckin'!!!!!!

yes post some more info, the website doesnt give much on how it works....

I get this alot from people but it seems like I tell them the same stuff that it says on the site and then they understand???? Maybe you guys can help me with the explaination. To put it in the most simple way I know how to, if you have the Pressuryte turned on it puts your bags to the pressure that you set when you install it. If it's turned off your system works just like it did withouth the Pressuryte. When on it regulates the pressure up and down and you hook up the lines EXACTLY like you would gauges. I'm kinda at a loss for what other info to give that isn't already on the site. Most people are used to the complicated automatic ride height systems that are out there. This thing is so simple to install and use that I think it almost confuses guys who know their stuff about bags. I will answer any specific questions you have about it.

I answer all my emails man. Last pics you sent looked awesome, hows it comin?

I will throw some questions out, because I bet some others are wondering the same.

so how do you configure this system? Is there a Digital Display like there is with the $500 systems? Can I adjust the set ride height once I set it once? Do you have to turn the system off to hit switches?

From what I read on the site I didn't really understand how it set the ride height, or if you could select more than one.

So basically you install it with the bags at a certain pressure (say 35 front and 20 rear) and when its powered on it automatically sets the pressure to there and keeps it there? And you can't really adjust the height unless you cut power to it again?

I would be interested in it if it would automatically set a 1" ride height (assuming I programmed it right) and kept it there. But it would be nice if it had the capabilities to set 2 different heights.

yeah, that is the advantage to a more programmable unit. You can set 3-5 heights sometimes. Thats what I want... rockers almost dragging, 4-5" ride height, and donk lift to turn.

lets see, some info that i would like would be:

do you use this with a 4 corner individual setup?

how is the ride height adjusted?

does it compensate for passengers?

does it have to be turned off in order to adjust the height?

how quickly does it react?

werd to Cris and Seth. I wanna know those also. Like if I hit my switched while it's on, will it immediately return to the preset PSI?

It sounds like it's a cheaper alternitive to the other systems, and basically set up for people who arent' switch happy, that just want to hit one switch when they get in, to get it to ride height, and drive. But yea, i would like to hear some of the things seth and cris brought up as well.

Hey guys. I'll try to answer you q's, seeing as I was there when Jay fell off his toilet and hit his head and thought up of this "flux capacitor". LOL! So here is the deal. I may be able to explain better cause I don't understand the internals of the Pressuryte. The Pressuryte installs by tapping into you existing airlines or gauges. It will accommidate 4 lines so fbss is ok. If yours is like mine, and you just have front/back, you tie the lines together. Once your tank is filled with air again, you use the two round knobs on the top of the Pressuryte to adjust it to your desired ride height. One knob is for the front, and the other is for the rear. This can be adjusted at any time without turning anything off or removing anything. The Pressuryte is powered by a single power wire that is relayed off your ignition switch and can have a manual on/off rocker switch put in line. What this does, is, when you get in your truck and turn the ignition on, the truck slowly lifts to your preset ride height. When the in line rocker switch is on and your Pressuryte is active, your manual switches are inactive. If you want to play or drag, or show off, what ever, you turn off the inline rocker switch and it makes the Pressuryte turn off and you manual switches become active again. This is how I got past the cop when I got pulled over. I was making an illegal U-turn and was driving very low (way below a legal height). When the officer pulled me over, I reached up and turned on the Pressuryte and while the officer came up to my truck, he didn't notice or hear the truck slowly lifting up. When he asked me about my air-ride, I told him

well its cool for 350 but i have a 600 dakota digital one and it does way more then that thing does for the extra 250 you get 3 diff hights digital guages

Steve, am not going to talk down on your Dakota Digital set up, cause I have never dealt with that one. I have dealt with others though, and in my opinion, the computer based setups are a gamble because of the quality of the computers in them. I believe the market of air ride controllers is not big enough to facilitate higher quality electronics. It would cost to much to create one and then the market couldn't pay for it. Jays Pressuryte was definately not cheap to create(I dont know an excact figure, but he gave me an idea), but has no computer, so less to go wrong. Add to that the ease of install, I like it. Like I said before, "probably the coolest thing I've seen hit the Minitruck market since airbags".
