I have a couple questions (I'm becoming frustrated and discouraged)
Recently I did some work (new front brakes, new CV axle, new wheel bearing hub) and while I was at it I switched the rear to Bilstein 5100 shocks. Looked like it already has new coil springs in the rear so I left those in. I had been getting that service suspension message so I decided to go with the swap. Front has already been done prior to me purchasing vehicle.
Anyways, I snipped the connector to old air shocks and wired a 3.9 ohm 25 watt resistor into each side. I still get the service suspension message. It annoys me. Did I forget to do something?
Another question I have is regarding stance of vehicle. Thought after putting in New rear shocks I'd lose the rear end sag. It still appears to be sagging the same as before I switched. Can some one measure their stock setup from ground height to bottom of hitch receiver and possibly ground to center of the bottom of the front bumper cover?
