can the sensor for the air ride be tricked?

as for shimming the switch you could add washers to the switch on the far side to rotate the body of the switch towards the arm of the switch. I would think one or two small washers could add an inch or two to the ride height

You can ask your dealer to raise the rear via computer programmer. Mine was done and raised the rear about 1 in. Not all dealers will do this but I know first hand it can be done.

So with the torsion bars cranked up and the rear raised....you should fit 37's pretty well...

Another problem You will have with fooling the sensorm and Phil is correct it is adjustable at the sensor shown but, Your ride will get hard as the bag has kes flost to it as You extend it. So more heigth means harsher ride if not done by dealer. When they do it with computer as H2 Rocks said they make all level out setting the Z heigth. They will readjust Your torsion bars to be set to math the air ride adjustment. Helps maitain more of the better ride but, still hardens it up.

Man I hear so many people say their dealer will not adjust this. Some of these dealers must be horrible.

My dealer from the very beginging would anything i asked. The service has been that way from get go.

You are right. The technician will use the programmer to raise the ride height in the rear and calibrate the sensors and computer for the proper ride height. Then all four corners of the car will be calibrated correctly. I believe its called z height adjustment. You can fool it, but you risk not having the car level, unless you mess with it long enough. Messing with the height can effect the alignment in the front. Trust me, I've learned this over the past few months.
