Your Kit on Suspension Lift Kit
Suspension lift kits are a system of springs used to raise a vehicle by suspending the frame, body, engine and power train above the wheels. It is a modification, often done by Jeep, truck, suv and off-road enthusiasts to raise the ride height of their vehicle. Suspension lift kits have become tremendously popular among people who wish to give their automobiles
You can spend a few bucks on some performance shocks and simple brackets to completely change your rig’s height and look. You can also opt to ditch the stock springs and shocks altogether for a set of adjustable air bags. Or, if so inclined, you can go with something like a 15″ body and suspension lift kit that requires an air-traffic controller to pull into your driveway.
Though some people install a suspension lift for aesthetic purpose, others purchase it for its principal purpose– to lessen the jarring of the automobile that is caused by irregularities in the roads traveled. Since the wheels of an automobile accelerate, stop, and steer it, the suspension lift kit must also serve to keep the wheels in close contact with the road surface at all times. Suspension lifts (also referred to as lift kits or leveling kits) enable steeper ascent, descent and breakover angles, higher ground clearance, and helps accommodate larger rims and tires
Whether you wanna lift your rig for a cool look, better performance or towing big loads, the market has every option covered. It is just up to you to choose a trusted online lift kit shop for the perfect product for your beloved vehicle.
In order to get a smooth road ride and improved handling for off-road use, you’ll need to get a quality lift kit. All kits will give you more ground clearance, of course, with the increased wheel travel helping to smooth the trails. A quality kit will include performance shocks that not only rebuff bumps and ruts; they can do wonders for your on-road handling as well.
Whether you use your rig for work or play, a high-quality suspension lift kit lends a major change to your rig’s altitude and attitude. Looks and performance are both seriously altered, hopefully for the better. There are a lot of kits and styles available, so careful consideration must be taken to meet your lift needs and stay within your budget. Luckily, an eager suspension industry is waiting to serve you.

Good info for sure, just wanted to add my 2 cents:
I think it's actually easier and more accurate to measure your sag at the shock with a zip tie or something rather than measuring from the saddle with a tape. I use a small ruler (cut from a thin cheapie ruler down to 2″ or so) to measure because it's hard to get a tape in there..
and then I also measure sag in riding position after giving the supension a good bounce or two (one hand on the bench or stand and feet on the pedals so all your weight is even on the bike) before measuring. New air shocks have a considerable amount of stiction that can throw your measurement off, the bounce allows you to read where the spring is actually holding your weight in the travel. And measuring in riding position actually makes a big difference because your weight is almost all on the back-end if you're measuring sag by just sitting on the saddle, when you're on the trail your weight is more or less centered.
And you mentioned having to buy a new coil if the sag isn't right on a coil-over shock. I pretty much agree, but you can fine tune by tighteneing the preload collar. But no preload is the best way to go if possible..
Most springs will have 2 numbers printed on them, the spring's maximum travel and the spring's weight. So if you had a 500 x 2.34″ on a 2.25″ travel shock, preloading the spring more than .09″ will cause the spring to bottom out before the shock which can get ugly I hear..
Most coils can only be preloaded a small amount like this, so I just wanted to mention it because I know some people crank 'em down way too far because they're unaware of the spring's max travel.
It's Air suspension. You can control up and down. It will be higher when you drive.

The air suspension system is malfunctioning. You may have a leak in an air bag or the pressure sensor(s) are going bad. You could have a leaking air line.
Do you mean by, "light going off" that th light has been on the whole time and is now turning off? Or do you mean that the light is now coming on?
