WUS UP I JUST BOUGHT A 02 CADDY DEVILLE AND I PUT 22 INCH DIABLO TEARDROPS ON IT. ANY WAYS I NEED TO RAISE UP THE REAR JUST A LIL. IT HAS AIR SHOCKS IN BUT I CANT FIGURE OUT WHERE TO CONNECT THE AIR LINE TO PUT AIR IN THE SHOCKS. DOES ANY ONE HAVE A CLUE? LET ME KNOW

 

[yodawagon]

i would imagine there isnt a place for you to add air manually

 

[D-BOY]

you have to disconect the factory lines to the compressor and and run new airlines to a shrader valve so you can air it up manualy....

or you could use a fire stone stone air shock controller kit to controll them like air bags

thanx 4 da info i just thought it b simpler guez i was wrong

 

[96caddy-deville]

How would u manually raise and lower the air shocks on my caddy?

 

[Frogg]

on my wagon there is an air valve on the rear bumper....

 

[96caddy-deville]

I've checked there and nothin.

You can tap in to the onboard compressor and raise the back when ever you want with the flip of a swicth . It will be a little bit slow and the air will bleed out of the shocks so you might have to keep adding air in it every 30-45 minutes.Just find the power wire going to the compressor run it to the 12volt source add a switch and a fuse , and that pretty much puts you in controll of your factory air ride .I did it my El-Dorado and it worked for me .

 

[96caddy-deville]

Great idea, I'll do that. :biggrin:

 

[TEXAS2005]

Just make sure you dont get a small switch get a nice size one that can handle some amps or else that switch will heat up . and dont forget the fuse .

 

[96caddy-deville]

Ya I experienced that before. :0

 

[MR LAC 95]

there is a lever from the body 2 one of the rear control arms you mess with it will raise the back end

 

[TEXAS2005]

so your going to crawl under and mess with a little lever , that probly doesnt work anymore when you can just flick a switch in your dash?

 

[yodawagon]

you could extend the lever so it always sits right.

hey i got a 95 deville, i'm interested in the same deal... i like the idea of hittin a toggle switch to turn the compressor on, but thats the up part.. what about the down part? like some sort of release valve.. sorry i don't know the terminology

i figure it's got the air susp and i dont want to 3 wheel or jump..

and one big question i had, does any1 know if it has air susp in the front??

 

[TEXAS2005]

im not a 100% sure but i think rear only , and as far as letting it down it comes down on its own after 1/2 hour or so i dont know maybe you can rig up some release valve but i never tried doing that .

 

[TEXAS2005]

maybe yoda has an idea?

 

[yodawagon]

maybe yoda has an idea?

i do have an idea... just air bag it the right way.the airride on a cadi or lincoln, is not built for hitting switches. it would suck i bet. probably slow.

 

[MarquisPlaya]

ya just bag it right, forget about the factory shit its not worth it

 

[TEXAS2005]

Yeah it is slow
