If you arent familiar with where to install the module I would recommend having it done by an experienced installer. If you need help with a shop to install let me know..

It is a piggy back module with 4 seperate height adjusters, one for each wheel...it goes under the drivers seat...

you could adjust each wheel independently

Did you get the sheet with it? Normally the front have to be adjusted separately so they are level. Don't make the front and back even height or you will have your lights in everyones eyes. You will also eat tires if you run it low all the time.
I have 3, 5 and 4 (LF, RF, Rear) This is around 1 3/8 lower than stock.

The renntech dealer set it level to start. Apparently they often require different settings to be level. 3 and 5 had the front L and R the same height above the tires when on a flat slab. With the above settings and the back at 4, the back is about 1/2 inch higher than the front. This is similar difference to the stock difference. When the back was level with the front I was lighting up signs 500 yards down the road.

The back is not adjustable individually. Only one adjustment for the entire back as there is only one sensor on airmatic cars anyway. Rennech presets the dials at 3. You can lower a total of 2 inches. Settings are 1-7. Mode setting is 1 = airmatic, 2 = ABC

ABC = Active Body Control. A hydropneumatic type of suspension found on S, CL, SL class cars.

Airmatic is air suspension found on GL, E, CLS, etc...

So the ML63 would perhaps act the same in position 1 and 2? I am assuming that the 3rd position on the ML (not comfort nor sport) is different than ABC?
Thanks.
