0.5mm. Ride height calibrate.

I was wondering if we can adjust the ride height in .5 increments.
Such as lower or raise the air suspension 0.5mm.

I hope you don't mean a half a mm.

If so, LOL.

yes I meant Half of Millimeter. My truck is lowered (air ride). The other day I raised it 1mm from the setting I had it and it made a difference in how the suspension feel. It felt a little too soft. Then lastnight I lowered it 1MM. The ride the nice, but I am thinking just .5mm higher would hit that sweet spot.

I have full air ride too.

In my experience setting corners incrementally and my experience with the system I feel that 1mm height difference is more of a placebo than anything.

There is no option to set to half millimeter specs if that is your goal. You'd have to get a much more sophisticated control system and level sensors if you wanted that.

Is there a diy on how to set ride height? I assume one would have to do either by code or GT1/Inpa/DIS or something along those lines. Is it possible to do with the Romanian diag kit?

Yes. You can do with that Romanian software. And there is a long thread about how to do it. For me, the easiest way is using INPA.

.5mm??? This is a joke right? Half a millimeter is less than the diameter of a dime lol if u wanna lower the car by .5mm just don't go to the bathroom before you get in the car

So can you set values for individual settings? (access, normal, off-road) or just for normal mode? Im asking because i want to set my access mode so that its "slammed" if that makes sense.. i think it just look good when i am parked and i put it into access mode but it could still use more low.

You cant set modes for each setting.

You can set a ride height which is middle, then the acess mode or offroad mode deviates from there... Meaning that the height offroad mode is with stock height, versus offroad mode if you adjusted the ride height lower, it will go up but be lower then offroad mode with stock height.

You can set ride height via DIS using two functions. The set zero point function which allows raise/lower by corner or by axle, when you have it where you want it then activate the setting and it will save it as default.

Or you could run a ride height calibration and add/subtract values at each corner to get the desired height, although I don't prefer this method even though it's the original way guys were doing it.

The guy above is right, if you want to lower in half mm increments just take a dump or go for a jog before getting in the X
