NewB Accuair ?

I really like the look and simplicity of the accuair manifold valve. My question is: can I use just some simple gauges with it or does it need the high tech (expensive) digital front end to operate it?

They sell the manifold seperate.... No gauges are needed if you use their ride control.

I cant seem to find the ride control on SD. All I see is the e-level gear. I'm not looking to spend a ton of cash and would almost rather have the classic look of gauges. Can you give me a link? Thanks.

Re: NewB Accuair ?

So where do the pressure lines going to the gauges exit the manifold, or is it set up for digital gauges only?

Also, can and how can I get automatic level setting using this unit.

Sorry for all the questions, I'm fairly new to all this and have not found any local resources.

Re: NewB Accuair ?

these set-ups arnt designed to use gauges. what im doing is a using a union with a gauge port im using digital gauges but connect the same as normal manuel gauges. the manifold is designed for thier height based system not pressure based system.
