  1. Pretty sure this is Ovlov suspension Swish.. They do a Bit more that That Mate. Like most clever Ideas it's; very simple what they do.. (They even have a Worldwide patent on It) They connect the Air bags together via Large Air lines & install a valve that isolates the Air bags once the Height control Valve is Level. Then (for instances) if you're reversing up a kerb when the rear Axle starts to rise air is transferred to the Front Air bags making It a true load sharing Deal Similar to a Walking Beam. As apposed to normally when the rear axle starts to rise Triggering the height control valve to Dump Air & Whilst your waiting for this reaction to happen your front axle loses traction because It's swinging in the Breeze being Lifted by the rear axle..
