Ride Height Sensors
If the electrical range of travel is
exceeded the system may function
erratically or not at all.
Also note that if the sensor has very
little travel the LevelPro system
may not perform to its potential.
It may be necessary to shorten the
sensor arm to increase travel.
External LevelPRO Sensor Installation
Internal LevelPRO Sensor Installation
• The LevelPro system uses 4 height sensors (one at each wheel). They are weather proof and may be mounted in any position as well as “clocked” in any position.
(There is not a dierence between the left and right sensors.) These sensors are typically mounted to the chassis / frame rail.
• A linkage with rubber ends connects the sensor arm and a suspension component. On most front
suspensions the linkage will attach to the upper or lower control arm. On most rear suspensions it will
attach to the axle or control arm.
• The main goal when mounting the sensor is to achieve as much sensor rotation as possible
without exceeding the sensors limits.
• Although the sensor arm will rotate 180 degrees, it must remain in the middle 90 degrees throughout
suspension travel. See diagram below for sensor travel limits.
• It may be necessary to shorten the sensor arm and drill a new hole to ensure the arm is rotating
enough during suspension travel to accurately determine vehicle height.
• The sensor arm can also be removed from the sensor and clocked in four dierent positions. It may
also be necessary to bend the sensor arm and/or linkage to achieve proper clearance and alignment.
• The sensor will be mounted to the frame using ¼” self tapping screws or bolts. A special shouldered
bolt is supplied to attach the rubber rod ends to the suspension and the sensor arm, this will avoid
over tightening.
• Make sure the sensor has adequate clearance from all suspension components throughout
suspension travel. Check tire clearance, lock to lock and throughout suspension travel.
Use of internal ride height sensors requires no special
installation. Simply plug the ride height sensor harness
into the ShockWave.
The Internal ride height sensor is a state of the art
infrared leveling sensor and works by bouncing
an infrared light beam o the shock inside the
Shockwave® unit. This signal tells the distance
between to the two, and knows exact ride height
every time!
The Internal ride height sensor is built to surpass
O.E.M. specications.
