Raising an airbag sensor

[reefkrazy]

This was the best way for me to raise up my suspension up a little for a more aggressive look. I've since then put on a 3" body lift but used this method to level the front end.

In the front driver side wheel well behind the wheel is a sensor. I took it off the ball joint and zip tied it above it giving it more lift.




The rear is located behind the back driver side wheel behind the frame. It should be next to the airbag. There is a ball joint also. It can move up and down if it's not rusted. mine was so I zip tied it on top of the joint. Pic here


Make sure not to go max height because you can destroy the airbag. Also higher up you go the less travel and thus a bouncy hard ride. Enjoy!

Reefcrazy,

Any chance you could take a picture looking down at the top of the drivers side front ride height sensor from the engine bay?

My check suspension light came on, and when I looked at the top of the bracket/sensor from under the hood, I can see where my sensor mounting bracket has been bent upright and is now touching the steering column.

To top it off, my height sensor is now at a 90 degree angle (does not look right).

Anyway, I'd trying to get a reference point to see where the top sensor bracket/sensor sits in relation to the steering column so I can bend the bracket back into the proper position.

Any help would be appreciated.

Here are a couple of pics I took looking down at the top of the bracket/sensor from under the hood. You can see where the bracket/sensor has torn the bellows of the steering column and is now rubbing against the column.

Hey sorry just saw this. I can get some tomorrow for you.

Did you change anything around the wheel area ? Did you change anything at all.

Thanks reefkrazy, I can't wait to see the stock set-up so I can get this fixed. I did have the wheel off when I put in some sway bar bushings, but I don't remember moving the ride height sensor.
