Should have some to share shortly.. sent a whole photo CD to air lift with nothing but high quality photos taking to show off the cars suspension. Kinda left those to be seen only by Air lift first to post and use as needed. Hoping to see the car in publications and all sort of cool stuff..... will see.

Good news is I have a ton of other pictures that I need to get and post up in the next few days or so.

The sig picture is one of them. I have only shared two more pictures from the photos taken that day and those two was taken by me from a crappy cell phone behind the photographer.... lol

Pics look great!! Have you thought about painting the metal bracket behind the grill black? It seems that it would look meaner without the yellow showing through the grill.

Just read most of this whole thread. Amazing look and seems a super kit. One concern though(and forgive me if it was mentioned already), Would it be a must to run a kit like this with such a varying ride height all the time? I know that when driving it will be realitively at the same height all the time, but for shows and what-not, when you slam the car. Doesn't the rear end get missaligned?

Alignment is based on the ride height you want to drive at. If you like the car sitting 2 inches lower than stock, you make that your main ride height and get your alignment. The rear should not shift when lowered.

I messaged you about this before Jeremy bud didn't hear back....When/if it freezes I have heard of the moisture in the air lines freezing making a air ride kit useless any truth to this?

Sorry if I missed that one! Semi trucks run air suspensions year round with little to no issues. We are based out of Michigan, where winters suuuuuuuuuuck, and many of us run our air suspensions year round. The key is to drain the tank on a regular basis and run a cap full of air brake anti freeze as insurance. The only time I have ever seen a system freeze is when it was zero degrees for several days in a row and the valves were mounted under the truck.

I have noticed zero problems with the car completely lowered. The back stays pretty centered and sit pretty flush with the lip of the fender.

Now I have not had the car aligned yet. I personally don't drive the car a ton to be honest and have just not had the chance to take it to the shop to get done. I really can't imagine for it to be a problem to be done... to be honest.

As for as the weather... I live in the south. We get like two nights a year under freezing it seems.. so not a problem for me at all.
