Has anyone developed a control box for the rear air suspension on the Marauder?

I have not checked to see if the Marauder uses the same style system as the 98-up HPPs/LX Sports... but I found this feature to be very helpful on the Mark VIIIs.

Basically it'd be nice to hook up the box to an indiscrete location of the dash and push "UP" for more lift, "DOWN" for lowering, and "DEFAULT" to return to the stock/auto setting. I'd develop one myself but if someone else has a tested system being sold at a sane price (electronics are very cheap), I'd go for it.

Sounds very cool, Metro... it's a great idea. Is there currently something similar on the market for the Mark VIII's??

Hey Constable!

I see your Marauder has improved by leaps and bounds since we last met! :)
The Mark VIIIs have an OE Factory equipped control system where they can slam the front end of their cars or lift it high right from the driver seat.

I was inquiring about an aftermarket mod where we could lift/lower the rear end of our cars to control axle hop at the track. Once we get off the track, flip it onto default and have it auto adjust for different loads. The parts for this wouldn't be expensive at all unless you over-engineer it with digital programmable stuff.

Yea, I didn't waste any time.... 4 days after I saw you & Russ, I had the DR stage 1 thrown on. It snowballed from there...

I'm not much into the Stage mods from various dealers.

What'd you get? converter and gears + pulleys?

*slaps head*

This wasn't stock on the Mark VIII. The way my friend set it up, it looked totally stock.
