Riding Height Adjustment
NOTE:
Prior to performing riding height adjustments, perform preliminary visual and mechanical inspection of wheels, tires and suspension components. See PRE-ALIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS in WHEEL ALIGNMENT THEORY/OPERATION article in GENERAL INFORMATION.
- To measure front riding height, jounce vehicle several times and allow suspension to settle. Obtain dimension "Z" by subtracting dimension "B" from dimension "A". See Fig 1 . Dimension "Z" is true front riding height. On Pickup, rear riding height dimension "D" is measured between top of rear axle and bottom of rubber bumper. See Fig 2 .
- Ensure front and rear riding height is within specifications. See RIDING HEIGHT SPECIFICATIONS table. If front riding height is not within specifications, adjust height control arms by turning adjusting bolts. Rear riding height is not adjustable.
