This is so tempting. Makes me want to do mine as rear only and sit at 2/3 and still be able to haul.

;910599]You know you can buy just the tanks and brackets, they're setup for dual 400C compressors. The kit is discontinued but I can still get those made if you would like.

I'm looking to see how much it will be to send back my my 380 and replace them with 400's. If I go that route I'll get a price from you. Thanks.

Accuair e level with rocker switch just showed up. Time to start planning the layout.

The quality of the parts and harnesses are excellent.

Double checking that the Bilstein HDs fit over the bags properly. Everything fits perfect. I just need to measure out the correct metal sleeve to cut and weld to the bottom bracket.

Shot of the rocker switch, which will be mounted in center console coin holder. This will allow it to be hidden and unseen unless needed.

I talked to uas and they said that gunna need 180 psi in front to air up its crappy cause only need like 60 in rear

I'm very curious how these uas bags will be required to be hight wise on the shock if you were just sticking with the stock position on the shock

180 psi is a lot for the front. I have the KP front bag brackets with slam specialties bags up front and fully lock out the front at 150 psi. My ride height is at 125 psi. The problem I have now is that the ride is bouncy without shocks. I'll have to find a way to to mount my shocks up front

After talking with Nosho47, it looks like the arnott rear bags have a slightly larger diameter than OEM. This makes the bag get way to close to where the bump stop bracket is cut. I will be sending my Arnotts back and ordering the oems.

Here is the difference between the arnott and OEM bags side by side. At first I didn't think they were any different.
