So i'm about to do all 4 air struts... tips?
The time has come!
IID BT tool- check
Arnott Struts- check
Pre treat bolts with PB blaster for a few days- check
Im lucky enough to have access to a lift! (and a full assortment of snapon evrything) (Pays to have well off budys) Anything special when putting the 3 up there?
I know I have to do a calibration when the new struts are in.
Anything i'm missing? Any tips, tricks, suggestions?
Thanks!

No calibration needed.
On front and rear the rear upper 15mm nut works best with a pivot head ratchet to clear the center stud(new one you are installing doesn’t have it). I would remove lower strut bolt first. Once all three upper nuts are off, support strut and twist so VOSS fitting is closer to you and unscrew with 12mm. When installing you just push it in.

Could anyone else chime in on the calibration? I trust abran as hes been right for all my issues before lol. I just had read and was told by my local indy shop that whenever your pulling parts off the suspension you should calibrate after. Learning curve!

You won’t be touching any sensors.
common sense will dictate that even with worn struts the sensors will still tell the system to raise or lower to the defined height.
New struts will still raise and lower to the same height as old struts to satisfy the sensors.
your Indy Shop is blowing smoke.
