Accuair ride height sensor mounting

I don’t know why this is proving so difficult but I’m having a heck of a time figuring out exactly how I should mount my ride level sensors. I’ve seen a few post and have a couple ideas but still not certain how to do it up front. I’ll get pics soon.

So do I need to take the travel measurements with the truck completely off the ground like get it in the air on the lift? Or do I take the travel measurement using the bags filled air up and then fully deflated while the truck is on the ground?

In the instructions it says to mount the sensors with a 2.75” travel point but then I found a supplement that says to disregard that with the new style 4 hole sensors (which I have)

So this is confusing me also. It lists 4 ranges. So does this mean if I choose to use the third hole of 3 to 3.99” I can mount it at any point in that range? 3.25” of total travel for instance?

Finally, anyone have ideas or pictures of how or where to mount the front sensors? Everytime I think I have a good spot something ends up being in the way.

Re: Accuair ride height sensor mounting

Ok. just an update...and I'm hoping this works..it appears where I have them mounted up front I can get the 3" of travel for the 3rd hole. The only issue I can see is the shock might get in the way? I haven't mounted the shock relocators yet. I need to go to cpp and see if I can find the directions. Looks like they just mount to the top of the frame rail. Also, in the fully aired out position, it looks like the eyelet that holds the bottom of the shock is going to interfere with the tab that holds the flexible brake line?

Re: Accuair ride height sensor mounting

Did you stick with this positioning? if so how is it working out for you?
