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.
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...
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...
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...
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...
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.
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...
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.
"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...
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...
Do those have CCD in front as well?

These allow you to put the sensor arms back in their factory position so your system functions as if nothing was ever changed.
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...
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...
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...
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.
