Yes! so excited to see more pics. When you get a chance, post pics of the rest of the set up: routing of the air lines, tank, valves, etc.

I lol'd at Nick's Euro plate btw.

first thing to check is the upper A arm. it's probably hitting the wheel arch. i've seen ppl layframe from just by cutting a little piece out of the wheel arch so the arms could fit though. why aren't the rears in yet?

He's working on the rears right now as I type this. I've been getting picture updates every 30 minutes.

I LOL'd at Nick's car height.

I like where this is going. Major props to Alex and Nick for getting this done over the weekend. You guys are awesome.

Standing ovation for you two.

lol thanks krip. I started to think you hated me ever since I decided to do air.
just finished the rears. the lift on them is awesome and they go down to 21.5" ground to fender which I'm happy with.
the upper front arms are hitting the top of the well.. I thought it'd go a little lower before that. they stop at 22.5" with around 30psi still left so they have good potential. I'll probably start cutting stuff up after I make sure everything's working and all which better be soon because I was just as low on coils up front and it's annoying
the whole install was pretty easy actually. I kinda wish I would have spent more and gone with electric valves though, would have made everything a lot simpler and nicer. the bags ride pretty comfortably. I drove it probably around 24" ground to fender and it felt pretty close to stock. I have to do something about the mud flaps because they hit very easily while driving a little lower than that.. all four are on the ground when aired out.
I'll take some pictures tomorrow. just have this iphone pic for now
