Thanks. I may go between my valves and tank and second tank (if I ever get one) with hydraulic hose. I like the idea of having some custom made hoses made and I have a hydraulic hose place nearby to do it.

 

I got all of my fittings in the mail and quickly realized I needed 3/8 npt fittings and not 1/2..no big deal sent them back and ordered the right ones along with water traps. Hopefully some lowering mods will be coming soon!


I haven't changed the front over to 3/8" line yet

 

I got my modified arms unmodified and the camber hole got cut out more. My ride height now is 16 1/2" so I think if I want to go any lower with zeroed out camber I'll have to do something to my upper arms..

 

Man that ride height is lookin bad ***! Imagine how sweet it would look with no running boards!

For real though I bet if you just tried it and took some pics and compared them to pics with boards you would end up leaving them off. Just a suggestion.

 

Thanks man. I may try to do that this winter some time but I really have no desire to take them off. If I can get my ride height to 15" or lower then I might have to pull them off

 

i dont see steps in your sig

 

Looks good. The direction hes goin with the build tho (if it still what i remember reading) the running boards top it off perfectly.

 

Oh yeah for sure. He is going for a bone stock appearance but slammed. His truck is bad ***. I just always give him crap about his running boards every chance I get.

 

I found this pick that I took on the lot lol its so high (it's not low!)

 

Any updates yet? Did you get the rear bags relocated and the frame notched? Once you can get the back end slammed that thing is gonna look ***** mcgee when it is parked aired out with those tires tucked up in the fenders. I know you have achieved a ride height of 16 1/2 and that is almost exactly where I want to be as far as ride height. When you get that back end taken care of you are prob gonna be almost exactly where I want to be as far as layed out height as well.

So what was your main complaint about the air struts? Was it just the camber at ride height that was bothering you? From what I can see, the original setup with the stock CAs was money. It looked slammed aired out and if you elongated those camber holes enough that you didn't have negative camber at ride height then that should be good as gold. Nice low ride height when aired up and slammed to the ground when aired out. I am only so interested because I am seriously considering going with air struts up front.

 

Where are you measuring the 16.5? Doors?

 

I'm pretty sure he is measuring from bottom of fender to center of axle.

 

yeah no updates. I've been dealing with the Lightning and finishing up school and haven't bothered calling my welder for some relocation action. For the next three weekends I will be racing the Lightning so no time for that stuff now. I will be installing the sub and amp from my old f250 tomorrow though!

I'd like to have my ride height at 16" (bottom of fender flare to center of axle) or lower but will need upper arms made for that. After my camber holes got bigger I really don't have a problem with the air struts but I still want to go traditional if you are interested in mine. I'm pretty sure my aired out height in the back is just below 16" so I will need modification back there as well. And I also want to switch to a watts link. All this depends on how fast I can get a job after graduating and I can get back from my first hitch so at the earliest January.

 

it was easy getting my 400ex in the bed without ramps!

 

Sorry for the brain fart there

Side note I am at 16"....
