Low air suspension refers to the fifth wheel height from the ground. The suspension system (low air leaf) is a suspension system with a lower ride height and is used by many transportation companies because it allows their truck to hook up to a variety of trailers. In modern days, low air leaf has been replaced with Flex Air suspension (low air leaf is still available). Flex air has the same ride height but weighs several hundred pounds less, thus allowing the truck to haul more weight in the trailer.

I'm not sure if they are all the same but my 379 has the switch built into the air dump switch in the dash
Peterbilt made (and continues to make) a number of different models available for a number of different purposes. They won't all have the same suspension. Construction vehicles would have the option of Camel Back, Hendrickson Walking Beam, or Chalmers Suspensions. Road tractors would most likely have a four bag air ride suspension.
To lower a Peterbilt 359, you can adjust the air suspension system by releasing air from the air bags, which will lower the truck's height. Additionally, you might consider installing lowering blocks on the rear suspension or using shorter springs, though this could affect ride quality and handling. Always ensure that any modifications comply with local regulations and maintain safety standards. It's also advisable to consult with a professional mechanic for proper installation and adjustments.
To adjust the Peterbilt Air Trac suspension, first, ensure the vehicle is safely parked and on level ground. Use the air control system to adjust the air pressure in the air bags until they reach the desired ride height, which can generally be found in the vehicle's specifications. Additionally, check for any leaks or issues with the air lines and bags to ensure optimal performance. Always refer to the specific service manual for detailed instructions and specifications related to your model.
