What Suspension Height Keys Are You Guys Binding?

[Royal Raven]

I figured I would asked here, since most keys are already taken. Did you guys find unbinded keys you guys set for the suspension height? I thought this would be faster than me trying to look through all the unavailable keys in game.

I just used the arrow keys

I think it's in response to 'advanced trailer coupling' where you have to be a lot more precise when reversing the fifth wheel under the trailer pin.
Different trailers can have different under-carriage heights. Different trucks have slightly different fifth wheel heights, etc. So adjusting rear suspension allows to get the fifth wheel under the trailer's floor to attach the trailer without 'damage'.

It might not matter much, but.... I slam it low when cruisin' the highway in my Cascadia pulling dry vans. And i lift it up when hitting those bumpy as hell construction roads.

W for front up
S for front down
E for back up
D for back down

No, it's not. The advanced coupling has been around for several years already, and they made it EASIER recently by making trailers 'snap' the same way they do with advanced coupling disabled, but at shorter distances.

IRL truckers in the US deflate their air cushions to have easy accesablity to the saddle lock when linking up afaik. At least that's what I've seen som trucker do on youtube. :P

I have a few buttons set for it on a buttonbox, but so far there's not been a need to use them.

There's only one "default" combination in ETS2 that has, or had issues, dont know if that bug was fixed over the years, where it could be useful.

If a situation ever occured i would probably use the "teleport" function to connect a trailer because otherwise it's just guess work to raise or lower to the correct height.

I use the key pgup, pgdown, start and end (the one over the arrow key).

i use / and 8 on the numpad for front suspension, and 5 and 2 for rear, and 3 to reset. ik its pretty confusing

Yeah, that is what I came to use. Since Arrow keys do not get used. Then I use / to reset.

My new keyboard does not have numpad area.

I am glad they added that to the game though, now my truck can get under some trailers.

There a problems with the with the 315/80 tire, you came not under some trailer. With the suspension height the problem was solved

[_KC76_]

Page Up = "reset height" aka re-inflate the rear bags
Page Down= "lower rear suspension" aka dump the rear bags.
