Default Suspension Guage

I'm looking for an aftermarket Tractor Only suspension guage. I drive a company truck, but they'll let us add stuff as long as it's not an extreme change to the truck. I got really used to the one in my last truck and don't wanna go without one now.

Any links, prices, etc would be great.

Just hook a generic air pressure gauge to the line running from the ride height control valve to the air bags.

With a legal load on, put the truck on a scale and note the air pressure reading.

In the future, if the gauge reads less than the "benchmark" reading, then you're under legal weight on the drives, and if the gauge reads higher than the benchmark, then you're overweight on the drives.

You can put one on an air ride trailer and use it the same way too.

Very good idea - and cheap too.

BTW - for anyone with an idea for an inside mount one for me, my truck is a 2005 Volvo 670. The dash is full, so no space for a standard round guage. I'd need a surface mount unit.
