wL<3bass Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 well he wants to be able to drop his rear down level with the front for looks. he wants the best of both worlds, looks and functionality of the hitch If that what he wants then he should go with a tradition bag setup not what I have done... I did mine to maintain FACTORY RIDE HEIGHT bc my factory springs could not take having 400+lbs in the back 24/7 365... After a month of the stereo my rear springs had sagged to the point where I was riding on the bump stops and if I had 5 ppl and the stereo in I had no rear suspension travel...

Hollowstylez Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 cool thanks for the help everyone. anymore more advice would be greatly appreciated. I was wondering the same thing just the other day. I have a 67 Riviera and would love to bag it but I don't have the funds to do a complete bag job. But my rear coil springs sag so much that my mufflers scrape and new ones cost just a little under the price of bags. I would think that it would be possible to have a no tank compressor set up.

*1LOWSUV* Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Your friend would be fine just adding bags, enough airline from both to the rear of your suv and then a "T" with a filler valve.....But if your doing that, you might as well just replace your shocks with some Monroe air-shocks and your done in an hour....same concept.

rusty959 Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 If he did do this... at the minimum I would suggest he always had a small 12v compressor with him that could do the pressure needed. Maybe even wire up with a switch to be clean and hidded. If he always had a way to lift it, however that might be, I don't see how it would be a problem. 2013 Subaru BRZ12" Orion HCCA on AQ 22001967 mustang restoration project: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110765-mustang-restoration-build-2011-edition/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/user/therusty959 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check this out too. http://www.airbagit.com/product-p/airvalve-scha-kit.htm When I first got my Chrysler it had air shocks on it with a nipple right above the license plate. I would got to a gas station and air up when i wanted too, and let the air out whenever. Now I have a low budget tank and compressor. Don't use airbag it.com or aim industries or another name the company goes by. There customer service is crap, and products suck. I called and was told they had a 100% bolt on air setup for my car, i ordered it they sent me a 100% weld on kit, and the only way the front would mount up is if I cut a bunch of my front suspension out. I called them and they told me "see it will fit your car, you just don't want to do the work" and would only give me store credit. So I sent it back and got a shaved door handle kit. Piece of shit. The remotes don't work after a minute after you sync them, and one of the poppers doesn't work. 06 300C 5.7 Hemi K&N CAI JVC KW-AVX640 6.1" DVD DC Audio 3.5k 6 DC Audio 8"s 6 cubes 8" aero port at 32hrtz http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/183798-chrysler-300c-8-build/?p=2731834#entry2731834 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
