the only thing that sucks is since it is a pressure based system, it wont compensate for passengers.... a 3 or 4 way setup might be an option to think about, that way if you are taking a trip with a load of people, you can set it, and if you are in your daily commute by yourself, you can set it for that....

Cris, in a single cab, or even ex cab mini, does the one passenger make a huge difference? Not saying your wrong, but really asking, I have never fucked with the pressure on my buddies rides to set height, and never have been on air in a personal ride of my own. If you set it with 2 people in it, would it sit too far off without the passenger?

I think just 2 heights would be perfect. A showing off height, and a standard cruising height would be perfect, even if it went up another $100.

i agree 100%. that would be nice to have

yes there is a difference, especially in a little truck.... i always run separate valves so i can equal out the front...

if you make it with two heights (two switch settings i guess), and kept the same price, i would be all over it.

Can you control the dump/lift speed with it? What if i like my rear end to lift first/front end dump first so I don't roll onto my rollpan?

Big difference. When I drive with someone light, it doesn't make a big difference. But you get someone 200 lbs or better and you can see the hood leaning towards their side.

just wondered, thanks. I knew people ran valves at all corners for adjustability I just didn't know how it set the truck with someone else in it. BTW, your build of "chalky blue" is lookin sick.

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

do you use this with a 4 corner individual setup?---Front, back only or FBSS---

how is the ride height adjusted?---It is adjusted with the two knobs on the unit one for front one for rear.---

does it compensate for passengers?---unlike the other guys building pressure based ride height systems I will tell you the truth, NO. But it does take quite a bit of weight to throw it off, depending on your setup.---

does it have to be turned off in order to adjust the height?---Not sure if I get this question but I will try. To adjust the preset pressure that the Pressuryte adjusts to it does need to be turned on or else you cant tell what your preset pressure will be. To hit your switches it should be turned off or else it will just raise or lower back to preset pressure.---

how quickly does it react?---It is different in each setup but normally laid out to ride height is about 5 seconds---



Someone else also thought that this system was designed for guys who arent "switch happy", Man that could not be more far from the truth. I have yet to see a hopper with an automatic ride height system other than the Pressuryte that works good enough that the owner will actually use it. ALL the other units I have seen use your existing valves to raise and lower the pressure, the Pressuryte does not. It seriously is one of the coolest things ever to see a hopper getting 2 feet of air, get laid out and then slowly raise to ride height! You guys with fast setups think about it, in the morning dead ass tired getting ready to head to work, wouldn't you rather have it slowly go to height rather than being violent at that point?

As far as the 2 position comments go, here is the gods honest truth. Because of the valving design and extra components needed a 2 position system would be More than double the cost. Also everyone thinks they would use 2 or 3 presets but in reality people almost never do, they mostly just use a driving height setting.

Anyway guys I really hope this answered your questions, if not ask away. Between my good friend Sponge and myself I'm sure they will get answered correctly.

On another note I am totally stoked on the fact that minitruckers are actually starting to get interested in this thing. I actually put all my thought into designing it for minitruckers and at first it seemed like it was rejected by every minitrucker I showed it to, there was always a negative comeback for every good thing about it. There are 10 times as many of these units in old caddys and hotrods than minitrucks and that kinda sucks to me a bit. It's cool and all that I'm sellin them I was just really thinkin that the part of the custom automotive world that I am a part of would love this thing and for the 2 years it's been out they haven't. Hopefully that will change.

Again if anyone has any questions feel free to ask, you can even call or text 253-332-8290 Thanks, Jay

I need to correct myself. Jays Pressuryte does not compensate for multiple people being in the vehicle in relation to just a driver. But for that matter, I don't think any system can do that. Most of you shouldn't care anyways cause how many people are you loading into the cabs of your trucks. If anyone should care, it would be suv owners like me, cars and maybe some crew cabs. If your bags are a direct over setup, it wont even make a noticeable difference. For those who have cantilevered setups like mine, its more noticeable, but it hasn't ever been a big deal. The weight difference is usually added to the back and that just means I get to cruise lower. As for all you guys wondering about whether it will go down, it does, but only to the ride height you selected. It will not automatically drop the truck to the ground when you turn the key off. For those who asked about evening out the speed of the front and back, it

the levelpro system from ART compensates since it has the height sensors... kit seems way to complicated though....
