So i blew a tire yesterday. Went and lifted it up and replaced it. I started to lift it back up with the jack to make sure i had it on straight and i hear the air releasing from the rear. So i started it back up and i can hear it trying to put air in but it doesnt go up. I shut the truck off and I could still hear it trying to fill up. Now it sits with a saggy rear. Im sure its something easy as i just saw it raise back up before i lifted it again with the jack but then the air released as i went up. I don't know much about these trucks. I need help!!!

 

If you jack the car up, the SLS "Self levelling suspension" will try and keep the car level, so it will deflate the airsprings, its not a problem and perfectly normal, but to lift it up again to "normal" ride height the vehicle needs to be running and ALL doors /boot /bonnet closed.

 

Thanks. I just tried it and it worked!!! One of my doors was cracked open a little so it wasnt raising up. I dont know much about these trucks. I just bought one and I didnt get a owners manual. What is the buttom that shows the rear lifting up? Its near the gas door one.

 

That button (when engine running and all doors closed ) Will lift the rear end approx a further 2 inches, its designed for offroad use to give a better departure angle at the back.

Thanks for all the help!!! I never would have expected it to be that touchy with all the doors being closed either!!!
