    Are some better than others and how do I release the pressure from them?
    I have a special case here my airsprings are on an older ford and they are at full height to clear the rear quarter panels

    You put marauder air springs on another car?, Did you also put the compressor, solenoids, height sensor on? Or is this a body swap into a marauder frame? More details are needed

    The height sensor attaches to Watts link, you loosen 2 bolts, 8 and 11 mm I think and slide it towards pass. Side or driver side. Small increments adjust it alot. Then you have to cycle system, usually opening driver door key on. Having air bags all the way extended will shorten their life and prolly rides like crap

    Remove the clip on solenoid, then turn it till air comes out.
    You "feel" the difference because you want to "feel" the difference. Since you just spent money on the upgrade you "have" to feel the difference

    I'm looking to eliminate the double pump process I have to follow right now to get the pedal hard

    What sort of 70's car are you putting on marauder frame needing the air springs fully extended? You might be better removing aur bags and put p71 rear springs in with air shocks to get desired height.
