I'll be purchasing a Marauder in the very near future, and just trying to get all my mods lined up. I've done a search and gathered info. Does anyone see anything wrong with, running the Naake setup in the front and doing the ride height sensor adjustment in the rear? Any advice would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

The Naake in the rear is JUST the shock you HAVE to do the ride hight adjustment anyway.

Technically one can adjust the rear height in the matter of moments with two sockets and no jack.

Yeah I read that already, I just wanted to see if there would be anything wrong with a rear adjustment and the Naake in the front

Why not?

I originally lowered my rear to correct the appearance after replacing my front springs with shorter ones. I actually just raised the rear a bit to correct my swapping oem rear tires to Nitto 420s that sit a tad taller. They were a bit too far into the wheel well for my liking. Took a few suble tries to get it right...but now it's cool.

So sure, make your adjustments until it is asthetically pleasing to YOU!

I did the front and rear on my Crown Vic, but I guess you could do just the front... I don't see a problem.

George,

The rear air suspension is easy to adjust, take a look at the picture.

This adjustment is made right above the rear axle.

Hope this helps.

Excellent picture. Mine is stored and I could not get out there to get a picture.

Let me add the following I recently sent to a few who inquired with me via PM.


I am pretty slender, so I can shimmy under the rear axle from the back of car and see the adjustment bar. I t lies just ahead of the fuel tank and axle, near center. Two nuts lock the bar in place. One 8mm and one 10mm. Turn off the air ride and then Mark the location of the bar first, and loosen both nuts. Slide the bar 1/8" left or right to raise or lower. Tighten the nuts, turn the air ride and ignition on, no need to start, and watch the car move. Keep adjusting until you are happy.<!-- / message --><!-- sig -->
