I never tried to see how high I could jack the car, but I wouldn't expect
that much movement. You will have to roll the car or bounce it before it
will take a final set.
I will say as a note that when I set the air shocks to where the back end
height "looks" correct (aesthetically pleasing), the car gets a tad twitchy.
You have to experiment to get just the right compromise between looks and
performance (and then one of your u-joints will fail and you'll have to let
out all the air to change it and start all over again with pressure
settings)
I agree that they inflate really quickly. I think its 4 pumps on a bicycle
tire inflation pump for me to go from fully depressurized to first cut ride
height setting and then fine tune from there.
Best!
