AIR SUSPENSION PRESSURE DISPLAY
First Claim
1. A system for displaying relative air pressure within one or more air springs of an air suspension system for a vehicle, said system comprising:
- an intake line operatively connected to said one or more air springs;
a manifold connected to said intake line;
one or more pressure switches connected to said manifold, each of said pressure switches configured to close when a particular air pressure is reached within said manifold;
one or more lights, wherein each of said pressure switches is operatively connected to one of said one or more lights and wherein said one or more lights are visible along a side of said vehicle; and
a power source connected to said pressure switches;
wherein when one of said pressure switches is closed, a corresponding one of said one or more lights is illuminated.

Abstract
A system for displaying the relative air pressure in an air suspension system for a vehicle comprises an intake line connecting from the air suspension system to a manifold. One or more pressure switches are connected to the manifold. A corresponding light is attached to each of the pressure switches. When the pressure within the manifold reaches preconfigured levels, one of the pressure switches is closed, and a corresponding light is illuminated. The lights are located on the side of the vehicle such that they can be easily seen.
