02Blazer Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 8 gallon tank, 2 viair 480c compressors, slam specialties RE-6 up front, re-7 bags out back, all SMC 1/2" valves, i have 5/8" line, dont know why i got so big, but ill prally go down to 1/2" line for dumps, i might keep the 5/8 for lift becuase when the system is in, theres gonna be ALOT of weight, so that will help slow it down alot too when lifting up.i am doing bags on bars btw wheel wells are already gone too. i cant wait to get the new chassis..gonna be powdercoated black (might have to just paint it, depending on the price) but either way its going black, and the 4 link will be setup correctly, welds will be ALOT better, etc.. your set up is very similar to mine , i got 2 viair 380's , 8 gallon tank, re 6's up front , re 7's out back, 3/8'' asco valves, 3/8'' line, my 4link needs to be changed out tho , my ''top'' bars ( the triangled ) are reverse , so i dont get as much lift as the re 7's can give me , that will be fixed soon !! btw , dont change out your line yet till you can get use to the switches, u will be able to control your lift and drop speed once your used to them . i might go with a 1/2'' valve for my rear drop ( exhaust ) cause with my bed being so light , it drops way to slow for my liking, oh well , time to make changes !!! also , you should have that notch fully welded , i know you said ur getting it done all over with a new frame , but make sure stuff like that doesn't happen again, if you are having a shop do it , have them take pictures of their progress along the way so u can see the detailed work that u might not see when its all done and things are hidden from view. also did you tuck away all that stuff that was on ur wheel wells, hell of a fuckin job , huh ??? are you gonna change out your factory brake booster ?? it will probably be in the way, depending on your wheel size . there are ALOT of stuff u have to do once you body drop , cause you are going 3-4'' more than just '' laying frame '' . imo, trucks/suv's dont look good unless your totally layed out ( body on the ground ) so keep making progress , you'll be pleased in the end !!!! mini-trucks ftw !!!! keep with the pics coming , i'm still trying to get pics of my toyota on here, soon i hope !!

02Blazer Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 (edited) im actually having a dude from an explorer forum that we've been posting on since about 2000 is going to do it. the forum doesnt even exsist anymore, but we still chat on AIM. he lives in Ohio and i live in Florida, hes going to build the entire chassis and bring it to me (im paying gas, etc) and hes gonna help me start the swap so he has done them before? did he say what kind of link setup he's gonna put in ?? you should go over that cause then he can incorperate the crossmembers that have to be built for your lower bars already in with the design of the frame ( mounting tabs, mounting tab locations, upper bag bracket locations, upper link bar lenghts need to be measured for the upper linkbar mounting tabs. ) that way u don't have to redo shit or add on , it just makes for less hassles and headaches, know what i mean Edited May 30, 2008 by toyonbags Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EpicenterDesigns Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 (edited) Is he staying to help you do the swap or help you start it? Cause that is just the start of all the fun stuff. Your gonna need a garage to store/work on it cause it will take awhile to get it all dialed in.

02Blazer Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 so he has done them before? did he say what kind of link setup he's gonna put in ?? you should go over that cause then he can incorperate the crossmembers that have to be built for your lower bars already in with the design of the frame ( mounting tabs, mounting tab locations, upper bag bracket locations, upper link bar lenghts need to be measured for the upper linkbar mounting tabs. ) that way u don't have to redo shit or add on , it just makes for less hassles and headaches, know what i mean and if i remember correctly, ur gonna powdercoat the frame right ??? so do the figuring of the 4link and upper bag mounts and all other tabs FIRST !!!! trust me , it's worth it to have everything planned out ahead of time !!! even if you have to bring the explorer down to him first ( you should !! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
