Spent all day installing a set of Firestone airbags and 30mm spacers on the 99 LX470. Saw a lot of feedback about the Air Lift bags going through the bottom, so just turned the Firestone bags upside down and seems to work so far unless I’m missing something about why they would need to run out the top as called for in the instructions.
Anyway, part of the reason for my install is to lower my AHC pressure and I’ve done a lot of searching and can’t figure out how to measure AHC pressures with the bags installed. If I inflate them above a few PSI, it would seem like the vehicle wouldn’t go into Low and I couldn’t measure the neutral pressure via techstream.
What am I missing?
I plan to tow quite a bit and would probably need to inflate the bags to 20-30 psi to maintain neutral pressures, but I have no idea how to measure them if it won’t go into Low because bags are inflated. Yet I see lots of posts recommending this method to help with pressures. Can’t figure this one out.
ps ride seems much smoother so far after install and excited to check pressures to see how much the spacers helped
