How do I know if my 4.4i has the air suspension?

Just curious to find out if my 4.4i has the air suspension or not. It is a 2001 model year, and I just got it CPO 3 weeks ago. Thanks!

Rear self-leveling air suspension or full air suspension?

The rear air suspension was standard on both the 3.0i and 4.4i with Sport Package in 2001. Look under the spare tire in the rear and if you see the air pump that looks like the unit in this picture then you have rear air:



CJ: note that the 2001's didn't have full air suspension as an option.

Actually, all 2001 4.4i sold in the U.S. (non-sports or sports suspension) have rear self-leveling air springs suspension standard. I believe since then, the rear self-leveling air suspension has been standard on all 4.4i

For later model years, if you have ride adjustable height, there is a control panel just right of the headlight switch area that allows you to control the ride height.
