Ummmm.. yea. There were some things I didn't know about going on air that I found out the hard way. The person I got them from was cool but if they just would have mentioned some other details It would have saved me some headaches.
I probably over spent but I have an expensive mini manifold that has all the solenoids together which reduced my installation mess. I spent 2k for the complete kit just using switches for control. Then went digital for another 6-$700 cant remember exactly.
Spent another $400 on a torn bag, $400 on a tire I destroyed when I lost air to one wheel, $200 on airlines, dryer, filters and fittings since then. But If you knew what you were doing, which I did not, then It would cost you less. you would not make the countless mistakes I made.

At a point of being low youll just say **** the driveway and youll just park on the street, well thats what i did. I ate my concrete driveway and the asphalt in front of my house pretty bad for two days. lol
Im glad that i have a level garage at the place i live now though.

something lik a polyurethane sheet about 1/2" thick would prob do it. even if it rubs slightly, its poly so it will slide more than rub. otoh, i still dont get how u guys can drive around on city streets if u cant even make it up a driveway?

I wonder the same thing. I couldn't drive more than 5 miles away from my house with running into some killer bumps and potholes. The cars always look great but it takes all the fun out of driving if you have to stop or go sideways over every little bump.
