Air Lift Install - Here we go slow but steady!

[Scott]

Thanks Nick!

I have an MBRP exhaust on order and expect to be able to drop the rear another 3/4" or so over the drag radials once installed.

Looking forward to following your install, good luck with it!

Hey Scott,

Are you running 3/8" lines or 1/4"?

 

[Scott]

1/4" lines in the kit.

the digital kit comes with a controller that has 1/4" push to connect fittings to hook it up. you would be choking 3/8" lines if you tried hooking them up. the only place worth using 3/8" lines is between the compressor and tank.

Thanks brother! I can't imagine the need for 3/8.

I'm sticking with the 1/4 for now and switching over to -6an hard lines.

i actually considered running 1/4' copper to be different, and since im a plumber it would have been appropriate...

The copper is kinda common place now. Looks awesome though!

I am considering red aluminum lines or maybe even painting copper lines.

I wouldn't want some crack head breaking into my trunk just to get the copper lines!

You got that right about some crack head getting your lines, heck someone had the nerve to cut the gas lines on our church vans at the church , just to get all the gas out. First time they stole gas by phi fling it, then put locks on the cap, now they just cut the lines to get it. I'd hate to be the one that goes in front of God and tries to explain why they did it...

I'd like to see someone get under my car to siphon gas, or remove whatever they want to steal.

Ain't gonna happen to us with air

funny thing the other weekend, i was out of town so the car was not in the garage at night. i don't have lug locks so i was kinda worried about my wheels.....then i remembered the airlift! no way your getting this car or wheels if its sitting on its nuts! good theft deterrent!

 

[Wes06]

Yup. I can barely stick the tip of my shoe under the rocker panel when aired out, and hell even aired up my low profile jack only barely fits to the k member or pumpkin. It's a lot of short pumps till it can move alot

Scott,

Do you happen to have the photos from your install available on another site? With Photobucket's update, I'm not able to see them on the forum, nor can I find the Airlift installation on your public album. I've done a bunch of research and seen install videos, but it looks like you documented it very thoroughly and I'd like to be able to follow along.

I think I've been inactive on this forum for so long that I can't even send PMs.

Would not let me PM you.

Unfortunately the vast majority of my pics are on Photobucket. I too was unable to see them but a friend pointed me to a add-on for Chrome that lets me see almost all of the pictures in my posts on S197Forum and other forums. By any chance do you use Chrome as a wed browser? If you do I will search for the add-on link.

I do have Chrome, and a google search for Chrome Photobucket Extension gave me a slew of options to try, the first of which already works. Thanks for the advice! I'm already overjoyed to see this, because I've been trying to figure out how to mount the drain line on the bottom of the tank, with the bulge of the metal from the spare well, but I see you drilled a hole beneath it and just dropped straight down. Genius.
