james33440 Posted December 15, 2011 Report Posted December 15, 2011 I got a 2003 Lincoln Navigator on 305/30/26 tires. Currently, my stock air suspension is starting to act up again. I already had it fixed my Lincoln once. Frankly, I'm done with the bring it back if it acts up. Basically what's going in is the front isn't wanting to come up when it's cool outside. Occasionally it rubs the fenders. So, I called a local shop and they will be installing me a complete set of Strutmasters. If all goes well I will have before and after photos tomorrow or no later than Saturday (time permitting).

james33440 Posted December 17, 2011 Author Report Posted December 17, 2011 I must say that while my Navi seems to sit higher up front, it actually rides a whole lot better. Gonna wash it up tomorrow and post some after shots. Quote 2003 Navigator with Strutmasters Suspension 305/30/26 Alpine IVA-D310 Kicker KX1200.1 3 Ascendant Audio Arsenal 12's

EclipseChris Posted December 17, 2011 Report Posted December 17, 2011 Looks real good man. What kind of air system was in it? Factory? Quote i resolve to be a nicer moderator. Tercel build R.I.P. Eclipse build Old New V-Dub My feedback.
BeatBox Posted December 17, 2011 Report Posted December 17, 2011 not bad at all, how much was it? at work i see vehicles that usually have the air ride in the rear, replaced them with springs or struts, or both in this case. alot less head aches thats for sure Quote
james33440 Posted December 18, 2011 Author Report Posted December 18, 2011 It was the factory air suspension. I got the struts from Strutmasters website directly for around $640 and then a shop installed them for $300 even.

MIKE-2U Posted December 19, 2011 Report Posted December 19, 2011 i have a 2004 Navi and have spent around 3 k NO LIE in getting the air ride repaired around 5 times. Its a pain in my @$$. Doesn't strut master make like air ride struts or something of that nature? how do the struts and shocks ride?

james33440 Posted December 19, 2011 Author Report Posted December 19, 2011 Yeah they do make air struts as a replacement. My setup rides great. I don't know if maybe my factory setup was more faulty than I thought or what. But Strutmasters works great. Definite plus.
