Question:

Does this system have a way to prevent air shifting from one side to the other while going around turns or a with a weight shift in your load?

There isn't anything on the Air Lift WirelessONE Compressor System # AL25980 that you referenced that would prevent air from shifting from one side to other when making turns. This is the case with any of the single path compressor systems. I did also speak with my contact at Air Lift and he said that while this is the case, it is not a safety concern at all unless you also have an uneven load in the truck bed, as the air in the bags would balance back out once you straighten back up again on the road.

If you plan on typically having an uneven load in you truck bed then you will want to go with a dual path system like the Air Lift WirelessAIR # AL74000. A dual path system will allow you to set the pressure independently for each bag to account for the off center load.

If the load is even when turning will one bag collapse sending the pressure to the other bag

@FredM Hey Fred, technically speaking some air will shift from bag to bag when making turns. This won't be enough to cause any issues and once you straighten out again the air will quickly go back to being evenly dispersed.
