The sensor was relocated up, as to fool the system. However I got 'check air ride system' msg on my console on the way home, so I think the sensor needs to be compressed just a tad more. The rear sensor doesn't need any modification (atleast we didn't do anything to it, and it seems to ride alright).

I will say that the while handling went through the roof, ride quality went out the door

Welcome to the club.

It looks 10 times better lowered, doesn't it?

Looks really good!

ok, my ex is actually about 1/2" lower in the front/rear then those pictures show. That was before we moved the air ride sensor.

im guessing the ride quality is that bad because of the aired down air shocks. ever thought about getting rid of the air ride, or do you use it for something?

it is nice to be able to raise the explorer 2 " or so when I change the oil. I think to make the ride quality better I'm going to lower it even more w/ the TT and then put pressure in the shocks to raise it. That should help a bit.

I still have to tweak the air ride.. I might end up bringing it back up .5-1 inch or so to improve the ride quality.

Untill you get new shocks it'll ride like poop. Dad lowered his front end 1" and his rides really crappy now, bottoms everywhere and is all loose.

Dude, ditch the ARC, get you some friggin' Edlebrock's and stop being a pansy. Changing the oil is your best excuse now? Ever heard of a jack? 'Cmon now, you saw how low dad's Triumph is to the ground and he's got the daggum tranny out of it right now...
