    How to lift 07-up Expys with rear air strut suspension

    I'll try to figure out how to fix the link. https://www.ebay.com/itm/272330959100

    Load Leveling Suspension

    I know air was available for those years, but it's probably not addable into the factory system. It might be able to be a stand alone. I thought SACHS Nivomat made a strut that automatically pumped itself up when weighted down for '15-18, but I can't find them.

    How to Lift a 2007-2014 Ford Expedition or Navigator Rear Air Suspension

    There might be a company by now that makes length adjustable radius arms and rods.

    Adjustable CCD Sensor Links

    The shop specifically thanked me for not posting his info. He has neither the time nor the patients to engage.

    Adjustable CCD Sensor Links

    Got a picture of the link installed from the Utah builder. He took a sensor reading (maybe with Forescan) and set the link to get the same exact number after the lift install. He says it appears to be at 90 degrees. Without an actual scanner that can get the sensor reading, that's about the best...

    Set back to roughly 90 degrees.

    Adjustable CCD Sensor Links

    Just a note to everyone. There's a guy running around in here advocating you don't need my adjustable links when using the Readylift sensor relocating brackets. It's "almost" as if he works directly for Readylift... Anyway, there are two well known builders in Texas and Utah that swear both...

    Adjustable CCD Sensor Links

    What I have been able to determine by looking at and measuring a number of Expeditions, is that the factory link to sensor arm angle is nearly 90 degrees in most all cases. I would adjust my links to that as a starting point. A Utah truck builder also told me that that puts the programmed...

    Adjustable CCD Sensor Links

    I’ve never been able to measure the stock ride height and sensor angle relative to horizontal to put that info in the instructions. Not all trucks seem to be the same either. I started out making rear links for rear air to lift them, then a top suspension shop in Utah and Texas got a hold of...

    How to lift 07-up Expys with rear air strut suspension

    I’ve done nothing but spacers and adjustable links. I’m at 2 1/4”. Whether you have air or not shouldn’t make a difference otherwise with other components. Guys are putting 3 inch kits on this gen.

    Care to share the name of the shop or the city and state?

    Ready Lift 3-2 kit installed with CCD suspension

    The Shops in Texas, Cali, Utah etc..., that have been putting lifts on CCD vehicles tell me that all the sensors need to read as if nothing has been changed. Not moving them, or changing the rod lengths as in what I make for them, will send the wrong readings to the computer. The entire ride...

    Saw that also. There are 4 sensors, all 4 need something changed to make them think everything is normal.

    There are shops that know what the ranges for each ride setting is supposed to read. You might try having them take the readings and readjust them accordingly.

    Ready Lift 3-2 kit installed with CCD suspension

    "With your vast research..... I would think you..." Yeah, I speak fluent sarcasm also... I started building these for rear air strut guys to be able to put lifts on. I was contacted by custom off-road shops in Texas, Utah, California asking me to send them some links so they could add lifts...

    Ready Lift 3-2 kit installed with CCD suspension

    The CCD ride control system is extremely sophisticated and ALL it's inputs come from these 4 sensors. I can give the names and numbers of numerous shops that I have conversed with and they have advocated as much. Raptor shops in Texas are seeing customers come in after installing lifts where the...

    2015 EL Platinum with 22s and CCD...Liftable?

    Do those have CCD in front as well? http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&pub=5575378759&campid=5338273189&customid=&icep_item=273997373838&ipn=psmain&icep_vectorid=229466&kwid=902099&mtid=824&kw=lg&toolid=11111

    https://www.ebay.com/itm/273997373838 These allow you to put the sensor arms back in their factory position so your system functions as if nothing was ever changed.

    Hey, thanks to everyone who’s using these. My 17 and 15 yr olds thank you also. It helps support their snowmobiling and motorcycling addictions. :)

    Ready Lift 3-2 kit installed with CCD suspension

    Front ones need to be shorter and the rears need to be longer than the factory 4” center-to-center. I know they don’t change the same amount because the sensors aren’t the same distance from the A-arm pivots. Only feedback I’ve ever gotten were estimates. Attached are pictures of front and rear...

    Ready Lift 3-2 kit installed with CCD suspension

    The farther you get from 90°, the quicker more sporadic the reading change is going to be back to the computer. It’s as if you were going from a bumpy road to a washboard road. All I’m trying to do is get the sensors back to the original engineered factory design operating location and range...

    Ready Lift 3-2 kit installed with CCD suspension

    You are correct, there is no positive stop. However they are designed to be at a 90° TT angle or three or 9 o’clock positions. The closer you get the sensor arm in line with the link, the more sporadic the movements going to be, sending quick data changes to your computer for readings. I make...

    Ready Lift 3-2 kit installed with CCD suspension

    Do us a favor and take a picture of the ride height sensors with the truck up in the air with the suspension hanging. I want to see the angle of the arm with stock links. They have to be getting close to end of travel.
