Ride Height

[96_Lincoln_LSC]

Is this normal ride height with the car running?
trying to nail down a potential sensor issue.. Maybe, it just seems to be a bit high for me.

yea thats what I was thinking, I think either a sensor, or possible that vent valve in the pump.. I'm going to pull it tonight and see if I can clean it out.

who not just adjust the height sensors, why do you think there is something wrong just because it sits a little high, my buddies 98 lsc sat like a 4x4 since he bought it, i adjusted the height sensors now it looks mine and everything works perfect, they made the height sensors adjustable for a reason!

yea but nothing has been played with, I was also talking to eddie and told him the check air susspension light comes on every now and them, he thinks it might be a bad vent valve in the pump itself.
Im just looking to get a second opinion on the ride height.
Thanks

Here's the Gen 1 ride height diagram from the factory manual.

Measure from the bottom edge of the wheel to the wheel well lip.

i just measured my father in laws 97 lsc with that diagram and his measured 24 3/4 front and rear, my 97 measured 23 1/2 with an 18 inch rim!

The Factory Manual pics for the Gen 2's are a little different.

Front/Rear

Hey, I just report the news, I don't make it.

Those pics are right out of the factory manuals. Typo or just plain wrong would be my guess.
