ABSTRACT:
A combination load-leveling and kneeling air suspension system for a vehicle having a sprung member and an unsprung member. The system has a pair of laterally spaced air springs, a pressurized air reservoir with a first tubing line connecting the pressurized air reservoir to the first laterally spaced air spring and a second tubing line connecting the pressurized air reservoir to the second laterally spaced air spring. The first tubing line and the second tubing line have a common tubing portion. A first valve member is located in the first tubing line but not in the common tubing portion. Likewise, a second valve member is located in the second tubing line but not in the common tubing line portion. A third tubing line is connected between the pair of laterally spaced air springs and an isolation valve is located in the third tubing line intermediate its ends. A fourth tubing line connects the isolation valve with the common tubing line portion. A leveling valve is located in the fourth tubing line intermediate its ends.
