Replacing air lines
How may connectors ( straight and T) and how many feet on air line does the 2005 Navigator have? I want to replace the front lines for now, because they getting old.
Thanks!

Depending on where you live and air suspension problems, I just switched my old navigator to regular coil springs, rode very similar and handled the trailer better! We get -30c on a regular basis here in Saskatchewan, the air suspension was not up for the cold temps! Not sure what your problems are, I was glad I deleted the air, but the Navi got written off by insurance a few months later, glad I have my F150 now!

Thanks for the tip. We live in BC, 200 km east of Vancouver, so, not as cold as in your area. I am not planning to get rid of the air ride and yes, I know about the "problems" the air ride can cause,
I bought the Navigator from a GM dealer lot after it was parked there for three years and somebody stole some engine parts. It is in a very good condition, but there is a leak on the front right part of the air suspension, so I will put new lines / connectors in and will probably change both front air bags. I love the air ride, it's quite a difference compared to the coil springs in my 2004 Expedition.

I still have the 4 air struts with valves and bags that I removed from my navigator. You can have them, just have to pay shipping! The bags are in very good condition, no cracking. The valves all work, and the struts did not leak.
