Lifts on 98 Limited (Air Load Leveling...)

[exploreraudio]

Hi, guys

I have a 1998 Limited, and I was wondering if anyone has any experience dealing with minor lifts (2-3") and the factory air-ride load leveling suspension? I want to put some slightly larger tires on there (like some 265/75R15s). Any help would be appreciated!

I managed to fit 265/75/16 with only a t/t on the front 1-11/4" and nothing on the rear with no foulling, however if you do a shackle or spring lift on the rear, switch off the ride control before, do the lift and switch it back on and the computer will remember this as the base ride height and therefore have no effect upon the air shocks or ride control.

As a general rule with lifting your truck with air-ride, you will need to fabracate a drop down bracket for the air ride sensor that is equal in length to the amount of lift you put on your truck. If you do not add this extra bracket, after installing the lift, your air-ride system will constently try to deflate your air-shocks.
I purposly bought my Limited without the air-ride package so I wouldn't have to deal with it when I installed my suspension lift.
