  1. To check front riding height, lift front bumper up about 1.5" (38 mm), gently release and let vehicle settle on its own. Repeat 2 more times. On 2WD models, measure front riding height dimension "Z" between center of front lower control arm bolt and lower inboard corner of lower ball joint. See Fig 1. On 4WD models, measure front riding height dimension "Z" between center line of pivot bolt and lowest inboard edge of steering knuckle. See Fig 2. Record measurement.
  2. Push front bumper down about 1.5" (38 mm), gently release and let vehicle rise on its own. Repeat 2 more times. Measure dimension "Z" once more. Average of high and low measurements is true "Z" measurement. Ensure front riding height is within specification. See RIDING HEIGHT SPECIFICATIONS (HOMBRE)  table.
  3. To check rear riding height, lift rear bumper up about 1.5" (38 mm), gently release and let vehicle settle on its own. Repeat 2 more times. Measure rear riding height dimension "D" between rubber bumper bracket and top of rear axle housing tube. See Fig 3. Record measurement.
  4. Push rear bumper down about 1.5" (38 mm), gently release and let vehicle rise on its own. Repeat 2 more times. Measure dimension "D" once more. Average of high and low measurements is true "D" measurement. Ensure rear riding height is within specification. See RIDING HEIGHT SPECIFICATIONS (HOMBRE)  table.
  5. Riding height is adjustable on front suspension of 4WD models only. To adjust, rotate torsion arm adjusting bolt as needed. See Fig 4. One turn increases "Z" height by .236" (6 mm). For non-adjustable applications, inspect suspension components for damage or wear. Replace components as necessary and recheck.
