Hello Everyone I have search everywhere on this forum did find some answers but just wanted to confirm and make sure its not just me before I take it in for service. Anyway Yes is about the airmatic. First of all it raises and lowers with out a problem and it does lower when I hit the 75 on its own. Have a few questions any help I would greatly appreciated.

1. On the passenger side both front and rear the car is lower. I measured it by inches using a ruler from the top of the rim to the begging of the wheel well right in the center the left driver side is 5" 1/4 high, the right passenger side is 5" high. Now is this Normal. I am 160. And I have my wife in the car most of the time, that I use it she is about 180. Chunky girl. Anyway is this normal?

2. Also does the airmatic adjust itself for say if you are in an incline or any situation like that?

3. I don't hear any weird noises that I would normally hear when raising the car. But should the car be driven with the rise light on all the time or with the car lower all the time. I drive it with the rise light all the time?

4. Should I go get it check at the dealer? or what can I do for it to be even on all sides if possible. If not as long as it is fine?
Thank you all sorry for the long and boring questions just a concern newb...

Airmatics are known for going bad easily, so you may want to have the dealer check for any type of leaks or wear especially if the car is still under warranty.

Have your wife sit in the drivers seat and measure again. My did the same thing but when somebody is sitting in the drivers seat it evens out.
