Does your compressor ever kick in? Maybe your air ride has problem(s).

Do you have a 2wd or 4wd?? That makes a big difference. Our 2wd EB with load leveling bags sits a lot lower than all 4wd trucks.

 

[ROCKSBITE]

its 4wd

How can you tell if you have the air suspension or not?

My expy. Has air ride and it's a 4x4 just look under your ride to see if theres springs or a black square bag. You might have air bags 4x4dude looks like a E.B. but i like your headlights are they better than stock? I have been thinkin about buyin a similare type of light

Well i got the Projector style lights for two reasons. I got the HID Kit and the HID just looks so much better with the Projector style, and the second reason was for the angel eyes. i love the halo look at night.

Word of advice, if you upgrade, get the HID kit too. cause the stock bulbs, even if you upgrade to silverstars, are pretty dim.

 

[ROCKSBITE]

so anyway. i know the suspension works id just like to know what a stock ride height is

OK. '00 EB. It rides on 265/70 R17s. Went out last night with the ruler.
After sitting since the weekend, and measuring through the centerline of the wheels to the bottom of the wheel arch, I got;
Front: 35" Rear: 34.5".
Drove it around the block in AWD, back to the same spot, Got this;
Front: 36" Rear 35.5".
When I set it to 4WD I heard the pump run but the readings were the same. Probably just adjusting for my fat ass.
Maybe you could get better results if one person drove and the other stayed on the ground and measured.

Hope this helps,
Tom.
