Belltech 2-3/4 kit. Links shortened to 2.75" with spacer on the driver's side only.

I've read about people having rubbing issues with the cable, but this seems excessive. I only lowered it a few months ago and probably have driven less than 2,000 miles. Does this appear to be abnormal wear for this short of time? Is there an easy fix for this? The bag is still holding air but I got a 'service suspension' light today. However, the light is now off. Any input is much appreciated. Thanks

Would also love to see those pics Norcal. My cable also rubs on that shock (but mostly on the lower body, not the bag); It'd be great to have a fix or relocate.

So the shock started leaking today. I had tried moving the e-brake cable a little but it clearly didn't work. Can't believe the bag blew after being lowered for only about 3,000 miles. Worth it to replace the shock? I remember reading somewhere that some people disconnected the Autoride for a better ride. Thoughts?

Hi Tony. Just wondering if you ever got a chance to take those pictures of the relocated E-brake?

Thanks, Mark
