Digital or Analog system for Ride-Rite?

Hey everyone! Fixing to buy a ride rite for my truck and can't decide on the air system. I'm leaning towards the dual digital air command II but wanted to hear everyone's thoughts before I jump in and get one. The air bags are ready to be purchased - just need to know what the consensus is on which air system to get - digital or analog?

The reason I like the digital system is because I don't have to run air lines to the cab.

I do plan on adding a 3-5gal tank (eventually) if that would make or break on which system to get.

Thanks in advance for any recommendations and comments, good or bad.

I had Pacs on my last truck and was going to go manual until I started looking at how to get lines into the cab and where to mount the control panel. I returned the manual.....

Yeah that's my thoughts exactly - trying to figure out the best way to get the airlines to the cab - not something I really want to do - plus I read some complained about the smell of rubber in the cab when deflating - something I "think" could be resolved with a small charcoal filter fitted in the line.

I read one review on Amazon that someone was displeased with the digital system and one of the sensors not being accurate. But that was one person.

So I take it you got the digital system or just located the valves to manually adjust the bags on your last truck?

I used the manual fill valves to fill as a stop gap but plumbed for the digital air lift set up and just crimped the lines off. Before I could get the airlift setup I sold the truck, a friend of my son needed it for his company and it was sent out to work up North the next day. They are still using the manual fill even though it has on board air for the exhaust brake

Thanks for the info, I really appreciate it! Probably gonna just go with the digital setup then, just so I don't have to run airlines back to cab.

We sell rear air spring kits as well as manual or wireless air compressor kits. Let me know if you want me to find the components for your application.

Thanks for the reply Air Lift! Got the springs on order, just trying to decide on the compressor kit to get. Not sure if I am too keen on the wireless system - although it does look like a pretty sweet system. The kits are expensive so I'm trying to way my options.
