Lowering a 02 4x4 air ride

[86caprirs]

Can this be done and how? The rear is easy but just adjusting the rear height sensor. How do you do it to the front air shocks with torsion bars?

not sure why you would want to lower a 4wd but you could always do the coil replacement option on the rear and lowering springs on the front

he has bags so he cant put any springs on his truck...get with JTKustoms...he drop'd his 4x4 on 26's

 

[semperfi96]

isnt there a kit like on the lincolns that you can take the airride off completely and go to a coil suspension??

Yes a conversion but its all in one to my knowledge...I have seen one online that offers a 2" drop...again...all in one

See I was not sure if you could change the hight of the sensors and drop it. I want to lower it because I have 22's on them and there is a hell of a gap on the front wheel to the wheel lip. I just want it down a inch or two.Kinda like the 03 up Expeditions. They have a nice stance. I know it is a 4x4 but I don"t wheel with it and when you click it into 4x4 the truck raises an inch anyway.

go 24's...or as i suggested...talk with JTKustoms...he drop'd his on 6's and its low...

I looked at JTKustoms pics and it looks like he has springs on his ride.

The back has the same senser in the front on the drivers side. Shut your compresor off via the switch in the pass side kick panel and Unhook both sensers at rear axle and front A arm and pull down. Now flip you compresor back on and it will lower. Shut off compressor when its at the hight you want. you may need to lower your torsions to bring the front down all the way. you will need a 18mm socket to do that. I just did this to my nabors Expy last night. takes only a few minutes.

Take one screwdriver and stab a hole in each bag. Problem solved. Yes I am a smarta$$.

take away smart...lol

OK. screw driver in all bags and truck to low. Just put duct tape over holes and pump up?

Thanks superexpy...I will try that. So when you say turn the pump on Im guessing by the suspension switch?

Yes. With the sensers undone it will think its to high and let the air out of your bags. I have done this to navigators too.
