The leveling valve does have an adjustment, but you have to adjust it when you install it. There is a pin that comes in the box that you use to set the height initially. You hook up the air lines and set the height. Then you take out the pin and mount the valve. Look up the correct height online. If the height measures right but your driveshaft is still off then you have bad bushings or bad springs.

You can adjust your leveling valve with the two screws that hold it on. They have sliders on them to adjust.

It has a small amount of adjustment. If you loosen up the 2 bolts on the back of the valve, you can angle it up or down a wee bit. However, you should still get the adjustment bar as there are multiple other scenarios where adjusting the height of your drive's can help you in a pinch

Hey buddy I work on trucks I saw ur vid. If your air bag valve don't work right ur bed will be inflating and deflating as you drive. It will bust up that drive shaft up. If u got vibration at 40mph plus. Might need shaft balance . But could be a hole bunch of stuff from hubs to tires to bushings .. good luck. #Truck city in lake bluff

You may need a high speed alignment. They actually balance the whole front assembly with your drums and pads. Instead of just the rim and tire. It’s works.

You better fix that air leak first, the longer bar will break the leveling valve at the time your frame went down on air the bar will push up the leveling bar arm, and you can get a damaged valve!

Did you find the solution? What helped me was to adjust the leveling valve using the same original rod, just moving the two bolts of the valve. What it is very important is to check the height of the airbags. When they are too high, they will cause a bad alignment of the drive shaft and that is the cause of the vibration at certain speeds and it is on the passenger side. The right heigh should be 2 inches and 3/8 between the axle stop and the U bolt. The adjustment should be done without any weight in a flat area. It doesn’t take more than 20 minutes, it’s free and you only need a 7/16 wrench and 2 wrenches of 1/2 inch. And something like a socket or piece of wood that is 2 3/8
