Measuring ride height
Measuring ride height
Ride height corrections are not possible. If the ride height differs from the set values, the cause could be one of the following.
The vehicle may have become heavier at the rear due to subsequent installations/conversions.
–  If high ride level is e.g. dimension -a- 445 mm, weight must be added to the vehicle.
–  If low ride level is e.g. dimension -a- 430 mm, weight must be removed from the vehicle.
Incorrect spring allocation could also be the cause of incorrect ride height. You may then need to check spring allocation.
Springs from accessories -lowering sets- also affect ride height.
