A suspension system for leveling vehicles with differing loads. A solenoid with two armatures regulating two valve mechanisms is positioned between a compressor and a pair of suspension springs. Activation of the solenoid opens the two valve mechanisms allowing fluid to flow from the compressor to the two suspension springs. Deactivation of the solenoid closes the two valve mechanisms and isolates the two suspension springs from one another, as well as from the compressor position sensors connected to the electronic control system of the vehicle initiate activation of the solenoid as required.
