Air suspension owners tip

I have the easy street set up and it works nic on my 98 LS400 minus the butcher job from Altered altitude customs. I have had it for a year now and notice it always drives stiffer than i wanted for air suspension. I also am using the smallest lines possible as i wanted it slow using less volume of air which keeps the tank pressures higher. I think the size is 3/8ths . I have the front bags 70-80lbs and rear sleeves 100-110lbs Anyway.

I had my car in the shop getting some paint work done for a week. While it was there i raised to max height at about 160 in all 4 corners. When i came back and drove it it was fine . The next morning after being laid out the car finally started to handle like a dream. The bags are going lower and much smoother with less air.

I cannot say this will work for everyone but if you can keep it raised real high for a few days it may just stretch the bags out a bit.
Best part is my rims are no longer taking the hits but the suspension is.


Good luck
