Getting a lowered RRC on trailer

[mmathews]

I am buying a 95 RRC SWB that is not running. Is there a way to raise the vehicle, so that I can get it on my trailer?

Thanks, Mark

I gather you have air suspension, you could use a floor jack, raise the body from the bump stops and insert wood between the bump stops and the axle a little at a time.
or use a set of "T" couplers on the air lines, you can use them later as self rescue if you plan on keping the air.
any how if you go the second route you need 4 1/4 inch t couplers and 4 schraeder valves to thread onto the t piece.
cut your air lines going to the bags, and istall the t. use the schraeder to inflate and you are done. for a better idea look up M.A.R.S (manual air recovery system)

this is kind of for the p38 models, but look here for advice:

Thanks for the wood idea. I am new to the air suspension and the car is not nearby. I just got back from getting the 91 and hopefully I will get the 95 later this week. Are the bump stops the same for the air suspension and the coil springs?

Thanks, Mark

Same spot. Had to do the same thing to pick up a truck we bought. Wasn't hard

Great! Thanks for the info.

The air lines are 6mm - 1/4" will fit, but barely.
It is easy to access all four air line ports on airbags - I'd get four pieces of 6mm line terminated with a shraeder or any other check valve, inflate the airbags, and roll the truck to the trailer.
