Going up or down 45 is pretty steep:

Boaz...are you turning uphill in that pic?

No, the ball is on the right, which means that is the low side. I'm also turning in that direction, as indicated by the display. Here's a picture of how it looked out the window at the time. :cool:

Okay gotcha...pretty gnarly pic! I bought one of those digital inclinometers. It works pretty well. I like the fact that it has an aural warning beyond a programmed angle. However, it also gets annoying when it beeps because of an "instantaneous angle" like if you corner hard or hit a *** hole.

I have thought several times that the air suspension seems to do everything BUT level the vehicle during steep climbs / descents. There is no reason it couldn't have deflated the rear in that pic. I wonder why this is.
