Lifting factory air ride (flame suit on)

BDS, ReadyLift, Smaxx... You name it, we know about it here.

I'm sure this has been asked a few times, i searched and couldn't find a good answer.
how can you adjust the factory air ride up an inch or 2?
is there a way in the computer to change it? Or is it as simple and welding a inch or 2 tab onto where the sensor is and moving the sensor arm mount on the tension arm up an a bit?

No flame suit needed. Somebody with an Envoy could probably tell you, but I've heard tell of just bending the sensor mount.

I figured the spring conversion people would jump in...Also has anyone tried using the rear spring spacer on a bag. Assuming the bags mount in a regular spring spot, its should work,no?

There is a 10mm bolt head in each rear wheel well. Loosen and turn the sensor behind it. The sensor has a shaft that goes down to the upper control arm. Very very easy process.

You can just turn the sensor for some lift
I hate to advocate weird chemicals, alcohol, violence or insanity to anyone...but
they've always worked for me.
