LLS Sensor...

Where on a 2000 EB would the LLS sensor be located to be able to tweak it a tad for more ground clearance?

Can't give you a specific location. It should be from the rear axle/components to the frame/body, and from the a-arms to the frame in the front. Should see a small rod attatched to a lever on top (the switch), and then to the axle / a-arm. I guess if you shorten this distance the vehicle will think its under a load, and air up. Good luck let us know how it turns out.

For my 99 XLT, the rear sensor is in the middle of the track bar. It can be adjusted to lower or lift the rear. I've done the former (lower my truck), and I've heard people in this forum do the latter (lift their truck). The sensor has a black boot and you cannot miss it. How to adjust it is self evident when you see it. I lowered mine and the replacement Belstein shocks seems to be okay, I heard from this forum that the same is true for 'lifting' whether stock shocks or replacement shocks is used, the 'play' of the shocks is within 'range'.

The front sensor in my truck is in the left (driver side) and attached to the upper A-Arm. The sensor is similar visually to the rear sensor and sport the same black boot. Assuming your sensor is in the same spot, it should be more visible (the lower part of it, that is) if you turn the wheels fully to the right. This one seems to be 'fixed' with no obvious adjustment means (that's how it is in my truck). Also, the front suspension is a combination of the 'air' shocks and torsion bar. Knowing how the rear sensor works at this point, and thru perseverance, I was able to lower the front to level with the rear and was very happy with the result - that's because it didn't cost me a penny. I had a 2000 XP-EB 4x4 with conventional suspension and lowering it would have costed me at least $500 using WMS kit from Canada based on my research. Unfortunately, that one got totaled, and I found this 99 XLT as a replacement (same color - white).

I guess I'm saying it can be done. Lifting via sensor tweak/torsion bar adjustment from what I heard will not relly give you a 'super' lift but enough to be at least at same level as conventional suspension XP's - a common complain from LLS users who are into tall trucks. You are of course aware that LLS will give you about two inches more when you are cruising compared to at rest (kneel), and another two (for a total of four inches) when in L4WD. Also, I'm sure you are aware that front drive shafts will be 'angled' more somewhat which could lead to faster wear of the CV joints. And finally, you must be aware that the camber might change, and thus, you would want to have your truck aligned after tweaking it.

Good luck and work safely.
