I just swapped the front and rear air suspension links on my 19 rebel and it wont come out of tire Jack mode. In trying to reset the air suspension but it's just saying air suspension disabled. Has anyone had that problem/ how did you fix it?

I figured it out. I had originally initialized tire Jack mode when it was in offroad mode. So it remained in offroad mode while the suspension was disabled. Then tire jack mode didn't come off so I just drove around in offroad mode then the air suspension kicked in and dropped to normal once I reached speed. However I thought that swapping the links would raise my truck, from what I've measured, the new normal is 1.5 inches lower than the stock normal. Can anyone explain?

longer links = lower in height
shorter links = raises your Ram
If that were the case then the back should have raised because i put the front links (shorter) in the back. However the back and front both lowered. Ive looked into it some more and as far as i know you need to put longer links in the back and shorter links in the front to raise . At least for a 2019 rebel that is.

To raise the front the links need to be shortened.
To raise the rear the links need to be lengthened.
