not using any brackets, just modifying the factory hardware slightly. the bags are 6.25 dia, and have about 8" of stroke. airbagit.com has all the specific dimensions, looked like it'l fit, so ima go for it. i'l see what happens...

 

hey just be sure you get the wires that go to the rear brakes out of the way. take a grinder and make a notch for the wires then zip tie them out of the way. or they will rub the bag. also the cannister for emmissions will hit the rear suspension if you move it back any. it has a bar in between to protect it. i havent moved mine yet and it hasnt fallen off yet.

 

Ah, yeah. I figured the exhaust would get in the way too, so i chopped it off... now it sounds like a beast. Got a thrush glasspack, just gotta put it in, and run it out before the tires. hopefully i can put everything in on the 11th. oh yeah, does the rear drag, or do i gotta get drag blocks ( i wanna throw sparks )?

 

the exhaust will still clear if you raise it about 2 inches. i cut mine off and added the 2 inches where it first turns up to go ver the suspension. not sure about louisiana but i think in texas the exhaust has to extend past the last door. it would look good to come out in front of the rear tire but it would drag pretty easily.

the rear will NOT drag. it wount even be close. it may if you had the front bagged and could raise it higher than stock.

on mine the front will drag but i have raised the strut towers 3".
this shows how far off the ground it is. looks way lower in person. also in this pic the front sits about 2" higher cause i have some stuff welded on there to drag, which im about to cut off.


Its hard to tell but the frame sits about ¼” higher than the ground (before drag blocks)


Also look at this picture, the emissions “canister” hangs low too. i gotta figure out how and where to move mine to lay out the back

 

garagebuilt..........what do you think about an air management systems( like Auto Pilot Digital Controller )? It would be a nice luxury of a button to get the car up to ride height and just running one wire to the front. At the same time you have 4 sensors that same will say can be off more than 5 psi... If you use a needle gauge you'll need to run air lines up front, the needle will move a little going over bumps and theres no sure way to set the ride height but to look at your gauges...What do you think is the best way ? what do you Run ?

 

i put the switches on the dash where i can reach them from outside the car. just watch it raise to where you want the front is easy cause i have my regulator set at 100 psi which is what the front needs for ride height. i just hold the switch till it stops.

i want the autopilot but dont want to spend the money. i would say its better than a needle gauge but i know a lot of people who have needle gauges. it usually doesnt matter that the needle bounces cause most of the time you will be sitting still when adjusting the ride.

when they say just one wire ran to the front, they mean 1 cable probably about a 1/4" thick. you will also have a ton of wires going to your valves for all the sensors. but its still a nice system.

 

ok so the front is fixed for now.

 

nice...............

 

thanks... im pretty good with photoshop

 

Hey Garagebuilt, Your ride looks great, really like the looks.
