2021 GLS Ride Height Sensor Help Please

Hi Guys,

Just purchased a 2021 GLS, super excited and looking forward to contributing to the forum! GLS is coming from the opposite coast, going to take atleast a couple weeks to get here.

While I'm waiting, was hoping one of you could take a couple very short minutes to help me out please.

Could one of you measure 1 front ride height sensor link length and 1 rear sensor link length for me? Example pic below from my Mercedes.

I'd like to attempt to make a set of homemade lowering links to slightly adjust the ride height and would ideally have the parts here that I need upon delivery of the GLS.

Again, should only take one of you great guys a couple short minutes to raise up your GLS ride height and grab a couple quick measurements.

If I can return the favor later glad too!!! 😊

Does it have airmatic? If so, wouldn't it be easier to just lower it via OBD or have it coded?

Isn't Airmatic standard on a MY21 GLS?

You might be right. I just know GLEs have a spring option so I thought maybe GLS might as well.
