adjusting front air susp on navi
from what i been reading there is a way to adjust the rear air susp by a inch or two in the back of the expy/navi with air susp, is there anyway to adjust the fronts? basically i want to lower the truck but just about a inch or 2 at most, wandering if its possible to adjust the air susp to achieve this?

nice...thanks! now i ran into a diff problem with the air susp today... jacked the front up to change the brake pads.... now the check susp lite is on and the compressor wont kick on?? i checked the fuse and disconnected the battery for about 15mins, still nothing? any thoughts on what could be going on?? when idling it sounds like i can hear the clicks from the solenoids up front almost, but nothing with the compressor.... before i jacked it up i never had one issue with the air susp?

(BTW, what year Navi(?) are we working with here?)
I'd check the fancy schmancy relay hidden up under the right front fender near the headlight. Pull it off and check it out with a battery for power and a test light to see if its pulling in.
