Default Settling Down

The time tested method for getting an ERA down to the proper ride height is (first) to set the shocks; length and number of "clicks" in accordance with Bob's instructions in the ERA handy dandy, all questions answered "how to" instruction manual.

Next make sure you have a full tank of gas (I've run out in every car I've owned). Search for a suitably sized traveling companion (minimum weight has to be at least 225 lbs.) and then map out a route that incorporates a number of hills, dips and whoop to dos" that will help settle the suspension down. Travel at a reasonably brisk pace and stop for ice cream haldf way thought to check things out and asnwer questions from envious bystanders.

When you get home (and with your passenger now sitting in the driver's seat) measure ride height all around. Works every time.
