Armadas with the Big Tow package have the self leveling feature. This is a great feature to level the Armada when a heavy load is placed on the rear, either internally or by a trailer. There is a air compressor, tank and sensor located behind the rear supension on the drivers side. The sensor controls the pressure to the air shocks, thus leveling the vehicle.
On my Armada the system kept the rear too high, more than the service manual said it should be, and I didn't like the looks with the rear that high. I adjusted the height sensor by loosening the two mounting screws (in red on the picture) and rotating the sensor clockwise, then tightened the screws. There are slots that allow a limited amount of rotation.
After adjusting you will have to drive the vehicle for a while so it will level to it's new position. My Armada was about 3/4" too high in the rear; it is now level.
