So to start, on the way to work I heard a terrible noise in the front of the truck and it goes down on the passenger side. The botttom of the Monroe quick strut snapped off and luckily was lodged into the lower control arm. These are lifetime warranty and they did come through with replacements with no questions asked from rock auto. During the install I fabricated two 3/8” thick shims and put it on top of the quick strut giving me a slight lift up front, about an inch or more. The truck sat pretty much level across the floorboards.
I turned off the air suspension from the dash controls, then pulled two fuses at the radiator Fuse box. I then relocated the rear Air sensor lever by drilling a 5/16 hole just above the factory hole in the rear lower control arm mount. Moving the lower part of the sensor bracket stud up approximately 1/2” when the air system was turned back on the truck pumped the air shocks to their new location.
This first location was too high for my liking. I elongated the 5/16 holes downward to slot it into the original factory larger hole. My setting right now is only about a quarter of an inch above the factory hole into my 5/16 slot that I drilled.
I attached before and after pictures and measurements.
