Trim height is a predetermined measurement relating to vehicle ride height. Incorrect trim heights can cause the vehicle to bottom out over bumps, damage to the suspension components and symptoms similar to wheel alignment problems. Check the trim heights when diagnosing suspension concerns and before checking the wheel alignment.
Perform the following before measuring the trim heights:

Tire Pressure
Tires need the correct amount of air pressure to operate effectively.
Caution

or tires that do not have enough air, can result in:
. Tire overloading and overheating which could lead to a blowout.
. Premature or ir ...
