Boosting stock rear bags?

[bmwme]

I thought this would be a good place:

My ‘04 esky seems a bit sagged in the rear. Bags and compressor test good.

Is there a way to make the rear pump higher? So a way to adjust or “trick” the rear compressor to bring it up higher?

You could lengthen the linkage for your ride height sensor

I'm a little curious though. What are your ride height measurements?

Do the helper bags hold pressure? Get under and give 'em a squeeze, you can feel it

You want ground to fender? Top of tire to fender? Something else?

Ground to fender

Looks like it’s about 34.5” ground to rear fender after sitting all night. About 35” ground to fender while running.

Compressor comes on, sounds good, and turns off after about 6-7 seconds when body moves up. Squeezed bags and they seems to have air and don’t hear leaks. Compressor doesn’t keep coming back on like my ‘07 Tahoe when one of the bags was shot.

Do the Escalades come stock with lower rear shock mounts? They didn’t look original, I’m wondering if this might have something to do with it

Just a basic search leads me to believe these aren’t stock...made for a lowered truck? Doesn’t seem very low. What is stock ground to fender??

I think you've identified your issue. Remove those, relocate to stock location, find a set of stock springs and you're good to go

Does this look lowered?

Can't speak to appearance. I'm terrible at eyeballing ride height. Take measurements from all 4 corners, compare to someone else's stock ride

I can only verify that under the car is NOT stock
