Ok,

I crawled all the way under my spotless MM last Sunday to adjust the air suspension as my rear sits 3/4 to 11/4 too low... And I couldn't find the adjuster.

Where is it? Exactly where. It is driving me crazy as my car doesn't have the Marauder "rake" even though I have the offset sizes.

Others measured thier height at 271/4 from ground to where bumper meets metal fender well. I am at 26 or so.

Your air ride adjuster is attached to your Watts linkage. It's a little lever and you loosen the two nuts (I think they're 9mm) and slide it left or right to adjust. See my pictures below

Be careful how much you slide because 1mm = 1 inch or something drop. I'm sure others will chime in with their expertise.

Its good to know my measurement is now the standard for the air suspension.:) i would only adjust it if you feel its too low.

Thought so. Isn't it also the one you don't loosen?

Ignore the "2003 CV LX Sport" connotation ... the Marauder's is the same.

It's above the axle, pinion area. you won't see it from the rear as the trunk floor dips too far down. See in the pic the exhaust tubing, that is the tubing that takes it over the axle.

Even though the link was rated as trash... I really appreciate the responses. I looked twice under there, but now know where it is. The first pictures that I saw months ago were non specific. I really appreciate it. I will photo and show after I adjust tomorrow.

Thank you.
