    if you still have rear air springs, then yes. Adjust the ride height sensor on watts link in front of axle on driver side. req. 8 and 11 mm wrench. only slide it small distance. 1/4 inch will do about an inch on suspension. have to cycle air ride to get it to change. I can't recall which way to move sensor towards driver side or pass. side, It is best to mark where it is now as a reference.

    Hi badass mm,

    Are you talking about the air suspension ride height in the rear?

    I was doing some searching on here last week regarding lowering the Marauder but still maintaining a nice rake and found some info on adjusting the rear air suspension. For the front I believe people suggested after market springs or cutting the stock springs.

    Check out this thread for rear air suspension adjustment. That popped up with quick search on google for "Adjusting Marauder rear air suspesnion"

    Leave a car door open when your adjusting the switch

    If your under the car and move the switch, the car WILL come down and smash you!

    Move it towards the drivers side wheel. 1/4 should do it

    Or turn the air switch off in the trunk til you're done.
    You "feel" the difference because you want to "feel" the difference. Since you just spent money on the upgrade you "have" to feel the difference

    I'm looking to eliminate the double pump process I have to follow right now to get the pedal hard

    That only keeps it from airing up
    If a small guy can wiggle up in there with the car on the ground, no jack or stands, it will lower with that switch off.

    Best to leave the door open so it won't lower

    Always best to mark it w sharpie before you move /adjust it, so you have a basis for further adjustments.

    kinda unrelated but relevant possibly

    last week I was with the misses getting some things out of the trunk and when she closed the door the back of the car lowered about 2 inches. I was thinking it was due to the weight we removed out of the trunk and it re-leveling itself. Everything seems to be working fine and no issues but first time i ever noticed it.

    Is that normal?
