BAGS going in!!!

how bad is your shit keyed up?? thats a shame..

not really that bad just across the driver side doors right in the body line above the molding. ill probably just buff it up and deal with it, im more interested in the bags than the paint right now.

i dont real have the uneven problem alex is talking about... the truck wants to be level.. so when one side is sagging (like if i leave it full up and the right might leak a hair over night) when i hit the switch that side lifts first and levels the truck out..

As of now im running one air supply (tank , 2 compressors) and 6 valves.

2 1/2 inch up in the front 2 1/2 inch down ran to 1 two position switch
1 1//4 inch up in the back 1 1/2 inch down ran to 1 two position switch

I ran the 1/4 inch because the back comes up so fast and i wanted to slow it down a hair.... its still super fast just doesnt feel like it wants to hop now lol

Running the valves to one line in the back hasnt bothered me but when we were running only 2 valves in the front the truck swayed BAD like if i was the only one in it . it would lean to the drivers side.. or even a full tank of gas would make it lean... and bump steer was SCARY.. since hitting a bump on the left side of the truck would force air over into the right back and litterally double the impact of any bump hill or sway .

Now with independent valves up front that problem is gone.

And yes we got rid of the torsion bars.

ive bagged a few vehicles i owned. if youre gonna do it then go all the way. 8 valves. so you dont have the play in the setup. compression fittings. PTC fittings are shit. http://www.airbagit.com/product_p/fbs-che-42-kit3.htm if you scroll over the pic you will see what kind of bracket they use on top of the top control arm for an AWD vehicle. so you can keep your 4wd. all you would have to fab up is a bracket to go on top of the bag. you have to have the drop torsion keys tho. to get you low enough. i have a pic of the top bracket somewhere. but i cant find it. here is an idea of what im talking about for the top of the control arm. this is on a denali. so AWD as well..

good luck with that AIM stuff.....

 

[AtomicHoe094]

GL! and cant wait to see how it goes

 

[MOBmentality]

first... max.. the floors not cut on that one he just has teeeenie wheels.. lol :-D


Second.... man.. airbaggit brackets are waaaaaayyy too tall.. with the bag all the way deflated youre only gonna get -5 or -6 drop it wont even get into your free travel area....

why did you run a 110psi switch? i could be wrong but i thought we ran a bigger switch so it would have the balls to lock up the front

i would NOT weld in those brackets... waste of time, money and undue stress on the truck
