Ride Height/Air Bag Measurement

[davidbrady]

The tag looks overinflated. You probably know this but the air spring height should be measured from the bottom of the piston to the top of the bead plate as shown here:


Specs for the non-tag-steer LXi are:
steer and drive: 8" +- 3/16"
tag: 12.72"

When things get out of kilter on an LXi it's usually a height control valve (HCV) or a panhard rod bushing (transverse link). Those spec's are from Ridewell. On my LXi my tag was always a bit higher than Ridewell's specs. If I recall, my tag air spring height measure around 14". I think BlueBird set the suspension up slightly differently from Ridewell's specs. BlueBird like the front to be raked down slightly which would add some height to the tag air springs.
