2. Set the tire air pressure to the proper pressure.
3. Manually lift the front of the vehicle up approximately 38 mm (1 1/2 inch) gently remove hands and let the vehicle settle.
4. Repeat the above step two more times for a total of three times.

- Measure both the right and left sides of the vehicle.
- The true Z trim height on each side is the average of the high and low measurements.
