disabling lowering on highway

[4.6powa]

is there a way to disable the lowering on the highway feature? sensor lowering didnt loower it much, except the back... so i want to take the front sensors off the control arm, and lower them to a height permanently. the rear lowers enough, so i can still have the heavy trunk leveling. i just dont want it to slam itsels on the highway, and set a check air ride message.

Not really. Best to install a dash switch that kills the ride adjustments for when you get on the highway.

OR install a Module VIII or ASHAM 8 module so you can raise it up a little before you head out.

so the dash switch would be an "air ride off" switch, just easily accessible?

^ Yup. You dont have to turn the car off/on when you use that switch to cycle it back on. Once you get back in the city, you can flip it back and the system will work right away.

It would be the easiest/quickest solution.

Thats what I did with the 97, worked like a charm

Just unplug the VSS, the car won't know what the hell is going on...

(That was a joke)

I already have a few switches that will send 12v to the trunk area, I have them taped off right now

does the air ride switch just close a 12v circuit?

I want to have one of the switches control that, I'm just hoping I don't have to run new wires to the front if that's not how it works

For the front sensors you can drill a new hole on the lower mounting plate and raise it. No need to move the top mount. Its very easy, mines done that way. I drilled the hole around 1/4 inch lower than the top factory hole. Then only used one bolt to mount it in place. Its been good for 5 years.

Im confused about why the front didnt lower much. I think you need to drill another hole in the bracket and try to get the front where you want it.

The lower ball mounts also have about 1 & 1/2" adjustability on the front.
