Yeah, don’t sweat SBC. You can work on it just like any other braking system,
you just have to disable it by unplugging the controller first. And it’s

If it’s completely slammed, it’s likely not a strut but a bad pump or clogged
up valve block, both fairly common issues for this system. It’s when you see
just one end of the car down that a strut is more likely to be the issue.
Air suspension isn’t scary once you understand how it’s supposed

No not really, no reason too.
I’d snatch that up right quick for $1k, maybe go $1200. I doubt it’s the bags

Funny, it was working fine the last time I moved it, 2-3 weeks ago.
It died while I was taking care of the jumper cables.
Charged it for a half hour, fired it up, no trouble lights but dome lamp

I put in a new air pump yesterday but it did not rise up last evening after I
