I always put axle stands under mine as the maintenance manual says the vehicle monitors level for hours after ignition off and can still self level after 3 hours (I think it was 3 but could have been longer). My thick skull is no match for the 3 ton sport. 2012 5.0 SC AB

I recently refurbished mine on a my2010, I put into off road height, removed the suspension relay, try it in off road height overnight to check that it has no leaks and does not lower any, then removed the cover for the compressor etc, removed the compressor and re built it all without removing the rear wheel, worst part was the top securing bolt removal, otherwise not too hard, pm me if you need any help ππ»ππ» |

As Paul says you do not need to remove any wheels.

After watching the YouTube videos, the biggest problem I would say is the air hose removal, if it looks like they wonβt remove easily by pulling the collar back, you might need to cutt and use joiners on the plastic hoses, if you do it on a Saturday and have problems look for a local hydraulic hose repair company like pirtek etc as they will probably have the plastic joiners and pipe, or pre order a kit off eBay, I brought a kit with a new alloy air dryer lid to replace, follow the videos that the kit suggests and should go well ππ»ππ» |
