crispy_chick3n Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 a few of you already herd about this, but i closed the deal on it, and i got it for a steal... $450. 97 ford ranger 3.0l v6 136,xxx miles bagged at all 4 corners shaved handles with electronic pops on both doors and tailgate the bad news is that whoever modified it couldnt weld too good. im going to grind and reweld eveything. the frame wasnt notched properly. while the supports are there, the guy apparently didnt know how to use a tape measure. the drivers side notch is a little too far back and the frame ever so slightly touches the axle on the way down. the drivers front bag works when it wants to. thinking either a valve is stuck, or a solenoid is bad in it. the switches are cheap and almost broken. going to wire in a real switch box while i like the shaved handle look, i cant stand electronic poppers. will be reverting back to door handles all the way around. as for the paint, im thinking about a satin black with candy red scallops and cream pinstripe. toss that in with the set of gold spoke dayton 22s i have sitting and damn...

crispy_chick3n Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 you got it cheap.. just the 4 bags can be over $400 depending where you get them not sure on where the parts came from, cant find any info on anything. its on the lift right now, going to get the drivers bag working tomorrow and see what it can do. also not sure if there is a pressure safety switch on the tanks, i looked and couldn't find one anywhere i shut the pump off when the tanks hit 150 psi. not sure how high its supposed to go, and the last thing i want to do is rupture a tank or a bag. it should be a fun project, and im in it cheap enough to be able to spend a little coin on it and not be upside down on it edit for spelling This page is crispy_chick3n approved. © crispy_chick3n inc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguels Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 is the tank steel or aluminum? might want to replace that while at it.. they only recommend them for a few years from the picture. the rear bags seem to be in good shape my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy_chick3n Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 ill have to put a magnet to them tomorrow to find out for sure. i left the truck aired up for a few hours tonite and i didnt see any sagging and the pressure didnt seem to move in any of the 3 corners that worked. gonna hit all the fittings with soapy water tomorrow to make sure there are no leaks. the setup doesnt look to be too old as far as the bags and lines go This page is crispy_chick3n approved. © crispy_chick3n inc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguels Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 check to see if it has check valves.. if it dont that can let air back in the compressor and escape through the filter. if the valves dont have back pressure they start leaking air back to the tank and back to the compressors and then the truck starts to sag. my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
