I have a 2004 Limited with the dreaded rear air suspension. XREAS is OK for now (very low miles). The rear of 4Runner was riding quite high and dash lights were flashing "OFF" so I inspected height sensors. Driver's side OK, passenger side sensor was beyond saving. I just bolted all back in place and all of the sudden the back end maxed out big time an no way to release any air so I left it be. Next day back end was sitting on the axle. Long story short, one bad sensor, bad ECM, and now major leak.
I want to use the air bags even if I have to get new ones and plan on rewiring the factory compressor with a manual switch and plumb straight to the air bags eliminating all other parts but the bleed off valve.
My main question is will the factory air lines mate to 1/4" air line tubing? has anyone tried to use the factory air bags with either the original compressor or after market compressor set up? Seems the OEM air lines have molded ends so can I just cut them and splice to normal air fittings???
I was thinking just a tee in with a fill valve for temporary until I wire up the compressor, can't drive it much without rear suspension. Anyone tried this approach with OEM air bags and how did you plumb it in?
