Locking the suspension

[jjballer1]

How do you lock the suspension for when you want to change a tire or change the brakes or something like that?

[ajh]

You don't. You can probably block it to prevent it from lowering but unless you disturb one of the height sensors (Disco) it won't lower.. usually. There is a company who makes a manual way to inflate the suspension that would work I guess.

so how do you change your tire without risking messing up the suspension?

[llesra]

in a p38 you leave the tailgate open to lock the suspension. lift the truck under the axle to change a tire/brakes

Does that almost work when I bring it a mechanic and they want to put it on a lift machine?

in the lr3 . i remember just putting it in offroad height .then holding the switch untill you hear a chime...i believe a light will come on in the dash.
after fighting the air suspension for 20 min, i had to do what no man should have to do to change a tire...USE THE MANUAL !

[llesra]

tell them to use floor jacks and not the lift. locking the suspension only works when the vehicle is on the ground.

If you are worried about picking up a D2 with SLS, don't worry.
I lift mine all the time, sometimes the suspension will settle sometimes not, but as soon as you put it back on the ground it will reair back up.
