I did the coilover and don't have to worry about those problems again.
Lastly, when I first heard about converting to coils I heard comments that the ride was the same or just as good as the air suspension...was that an exaggeration? I ask because from time to time I bounce as if I'm riding a wave; nothing major but it's something I definitely did not experience with the air suspension. If you've had the conversion done, please share what significant differences you notice other than The difference in height. Thanks!
I GOT SICK OF ALL THE UP'S AND DOWN'S AND PUT IN A STRUTMASTER SET UP. IT IS A BIT EXPENSIVE ABOUT $850.00. TO ME THATS A WARNING SIGN
MINE USE TO DO THE SAME THING, UNTIL IT FINALLY QUIT GOING UP. BEING IN VAGAS, I DON'T SEE HOW THE WEATHER IS PLAYING A ROLE ( IT'S NOT LIKE IT'S SNOWING, BUT WHAT YOU COULD DO IS TO SATURATE IT WITH WD-40- ( I USE IT ON MY TOW-TRUCKS) DON'T WORRY IT WILL NOT HARM ANY ELECTRICAL WIRING. SORRY I DON'T HAVE MUCH MORE, I JUST THINK IT'S STARTING TO GIVE YOU A WARNING. CHANGE THEM TO STRUTS AND NEVER HAVE THAT PROBLEM AGAIN. GOOD LUCK
CARLOS-- HAPPY HOLIDAYS.

Strutmasters also offers a coil conversion "lift kit" which advertised a 3" front lift and 2" rear lift. Does anyone on this forum have any experience with this particular "lift kit" from Strutmasters?
Thanks!
And you don't need the strutmaster kit go to a junk yard and get the springs off of an expedition and save your self some $$$. If your front struts are air as well buy them new and have a normal factory ride
I've been hearing strutmaster give off a bumpy ride, got more questions email: janguiano58@yahoo.com
Any suggestions -I am new to the air ride system so I dont even know where to start.
Was this recently? It only sits when its cold outside?
If you have more questions email me at janguiano58@yahoo.com or write back here
i got a jack and lift the passenger side up, the navigator has a sensor which tells it when the air bag is fully inflated, by jacking up the side thats down, it tricks the sensor, you might have to jack it up 2-or 3 times, but you'll hear the pump click and the air bag should start to inflate.
i got tired of all this and just changed everything over to strut masters, cost me about $800 bucks, but well worth it. turn the switch back on before you lift the gator up.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
...the compressor is gone again! Who knows what else!?!? :mad:
From responses I've seen here the air bags could, and probably are leaking causing the compressor to work harder and thus fail (and there are FOUR of them)!!
If you plan on keeping your truck, SERIOUSLY consider changing the air ride suspension. A company online, STRUTMASTERS.COM, makes a "coil over" conversion kit and is reasonably priced and your headaches will be gone!!!
I've converted mine and it rides just as good as the air ride suspension. :shades:

Help....
Taking your advice about strutmasters and installing it on my 2005 Navi. Looking for the instructions on shutting off the air bag system to eliminate the check suspension light from coming on.
do you have the instructions that you can provide me......

There's the video (ignore the french commercial in the beginning).
My truck has the neal down option, so I'm stuck with the warning error message.
Also, how do I know if I don't have the "neel down option?"
Anyhow, the ride has been very comfortable and no problems with the actual suspension. However, we now have all kinds of problems with the electric in the vehicle. First, the check suspension signal came on originally and we were told it couldn't be disconnected, so we would just hit reset after it came on and the beeping would stop. Now the beeping will continue randomly, stating door ajar(even though the door is not ajar). Pressing reset does nothing. I have also adjusted the lights as sometimes the cabin lights would just come on randomly. Now the door locks don't all work.
As much as I would like to get my wife out of this vehicle, we really can't afford the upgrade right now, and quite honestly she loves the big suv! What I'd like to do is find someone that knows wiring and find someway to disconnect the notification system. Other then being a gas guzzler, drivers seat doesn't move or heat up, radio/speakers are messed up; the truck fits the needs of our family for trips to the lake and getting kids to and from practices.
We live in West Chester, OH. So if you know anyone, or have any ideas let me know.
Currently all four corners of my nav are down. The compressor will work if i feed it power right to it. But i'm not getting any power at all going to the relay (behind the headligt) I tried jumping the A-B and nothing. I've checked all the fuses and relays on the power supply block and they are good. Is there any other relay or fuse that will cut the power to this system?
Thanks

As far as the door issue, it's a simple fix. The door switch is stuck in one of your doors. Go to your local auto parts store and purchase a can of silicone spray lubricant and hose it into your door internals (door jamb) all the while pulling on the outer door handles (Which allows the lubricant to coat the door's internal mechanisms).
