    Apparently I wasn't playing Ragnarok just the regular 2018 GOW. One more valkarie to beat at the top of a valcano and this game will be over aside from a couple green ravens

    Hopefully yours still has the compressor? If so the bags themselves are probably easy.

    My friend's still has the bags. The "lower" setting is literally a garage mode. The truck automatically returns to normal ride height once you drive fast enough.

    I realized I had measured for a stock height one the other day and asked the PO, it sounds like he just cut the lines and yanked the bags to put in the springs.

    It also fits just fine in the shop, so maybe that’ll be home. Especially if I want to put taller/skinnier tires.

    The rear does look high. Did PO put lift springs in the rear and leave the front stack?

    Nice springs, bummer they're too tall. Sand bags are cheap?

    Well the air bags deflate to "normal" ride height once you exceed 25mph.

    I'm only aware of one method for keeping them inflated which is to raise the vehicle to high, shutting it off, then pulling the relay and fuse.

    That's when the vehicle will remain in a "lifted" mode and you'll only be able to lower it back to normal when you reinstall the relay and fuse.

    The pic from the other day is actually from when I first got it but here it is with a 1-2" lift up front, and the bags inflated -



    If I had extra coilovers, I would've swapped them out and pulled my air bags cause honestly, I don't want them. They're pretty new apparently.

    Mainly cause when I'm at "normal", the vehicle is mostly leveled or has the tiniest bit of squat due to the stupid spacer on my coilovers.

    You seemed pretty pleased with those when you first set them up. Did they not age well?

    I threw money at Deaver J59s and then ended up taking them apart to lower the ride height anyway.
