Default Air Ride INSTALL
Just preppin' for the install...doin' it different than Bryan, gonna use hard fasteners instead of VHB tape to mount compressor/valve. Also using the outside left frame plate hole, enlarged to 1/2" with a drill bit, to mount the control switch. Took off the stock shocks FIRST (simple), LESS than 5 minutes....you MUST use a JACK. This pic shows 9" between the shock mounting points which is what the slammed compression will be. The tire really tucks into the fender nice...look how easy it will be to pull a rear axle now, all kinds of exhaust clearance. More pics and info to follow as I progress...gotta get some BEER!
