my semi has a single self leveling, and a guage to go with it.

yes, when your bouncing down the road, the guage bounces.

when i get loaded at the quarry or when im hauling corn, i can tell, within 1000#'s, what i weigh based on what my air bags read. this has saved me several thousands in tickets at the weigh station. portable scales are a bitch.

two guages, one for each side, would also tell you if your have your load centered, if not pulling a trailer, as the trailer is naturally centered.

personally, guages for the bags, is a worthwhile investment. as your truck is no longer able to tell you those things, because the bags do everything they can to make the truck sit level.

it will no longer super sag when overloaded, or lean if your load is not centered. a guage will then tell you what your truck no longer can.

You would need a gauge for each bag to tell you the info you need.

i know.

but thats what was getting at.

not having guages, imo, is worse than having guages, in this instance. i prefer to know what my truck sits like, instead of relying on a kit to do its job and not knowing.

or you could get a single guage, with a dual needle.
