Thread: lowering suspension to fit under garage door?

    lowering suspension to fit under garage door?

    D2 with Ace and SLS, I need to lower the entire vehicle to clear a garage tilt-a -door to work on it inside the garage.
    I thought I heard something about a vehicle transport height?? But don't know how to lower it.
    Otherwise I will have to pull a fuse on the compressor and deflate the tyres all round to try and gain the roof clearance

    The Hawkeye has a "Transport mode" setting that I believe will lower the air bags down to the bump stop. I have not tried it myself. Give it a go and report back.

    From memory cant you jack the rear end up ( trolley jack to tow bar) then start the car it will level itself ie let air out then turn the car off open a rear door and lower the jack, leave the door open and start the car and reverse in.

    While ever the door is open the SLS wont activate and pump the rear up until its closed.

    I am sure Kev had a thread about this somewhere, Im sure thats how it goes.

    Hey Dazza ... I have since noticed, on occaision, that the SLS will still self level when the doors are open !

    ... I have no clue why. It even does it with the keys out of the ignition.

    That would still be the go, but pull the compressor fuse/relay first.

    Pull the SLS relays and the fuses and then let the air out of the bags via the hose connector fittings on the compressor. ( or on top of the bags if you have the screw in fittings but I would use the compressor ones).

    The two "outside" nuts can be undone a little to let the air out ( not the middle one).

    Just remember to do the soapy liquid check for bubbles when you tighten it all back up ( not too tight!) , replace the relays and fuses and pressurize again. ( after you leave the garage lol.)


    Cheers

    I have to lower my D2 as my carport has one low support beam, I have the green remote, which is intended for lowering the rear to save you lifting a trailer onto the towball.

    As I pull into my driveway I stop, then hold down the button on the remote until the dashboard chimes stop, this means it has lowered as far as possible. When I leave the the rear airbags automatically level once you get over 5kph or something like that. If I do a suspension lift the carport beam will get modified
