Abstract:
A vehicle leveling system in which the four ends of the axles of a vehicle have air-lift type shock absorbers into which compressed air can be injected or removed. Each of the shock absorbers are connected by tubing to a central chamber which is level with the vehicle floor. Inside of the chamber is a heavy plumb bob which comprises a vertical shaft suspended by a flexible straight wire. The bob is an inverted truncated cone. The supporting wire is sealed through the closed roof of the chamber and can be raised and lowered. Four valves are placed around the circumference of the chamber, 90 degrees apart, with valve stems that project radially inwardly, and are just barely in contact with the circumferential surface of the plumb bob.
