SLS air bags

[gthphotography]

I've read the previous posts, but haven't seen what I'm experiencing.

The SLS will deflate til the truck is sitting on the ground. Starts with the passenger side.
If I activate the off road mode for the SLS, it won't deflate, even if left for days.
I was going to (and still will, though I no longer believe these are the problems) check the hoses and bags with soapy water (or glycerin and water 'snoop') but no thinks something in the SLABS might be causing this.

Any ideas?


And, yes, I know I can convert it.

your passenger side bellow is in the early stages of leakdown at its fold when on standard height.
to verify switch bags from one side to the other...
the only solution is to replace bags in pairs, since d2 does not have a resrvoir like the range, your compressor is running overtime, which will only lead to it's early demise...
rsw solutions, arnott suspensions are the first two which come to mind on further info, repair and parts.

Bags are bad. They leak at the point it rolls over at that ride height. Soapy water will show this.

So if I'm understanding this correctly; when the bag is at normal height, it has a fold, and there is a leak at that fold. When the bag if extended, the fold is gone and it self-seals itself.

the "fold" moves as the truck moves in ride height. look at the bottom of the spring in the pic, see the area of rubber that is discolored? that is the portion that continually folds over itself as the truck height is changed. this pic shows it completely extended.
