I just finished putting the new brackets on for my air bags. Also wanted to post what I found to be the easiest way to do so. Took about an hour to do both sides with pics, granted I painted the spacers in the morning. First off you remove the wheels duh. Then I started by popping the upper control arm from the steering knuckle as in the pic below. also i haven't figured out how to separate the photos. and put the sentences in between. so all the pics will be below. there are pics comparing the old brackets and new ones on the strut side by side so you can see the difference it makes. next there is a photo of the new top strut mount and the stock one and mine i shaved the bottom cup off. the one for the bushing to get extra 3/4 inch drop. then the pic of the strut without the bag is a spacer that must be used below the washer for proper fitment. also you don't just want to use the washer will fail over time and ruin your bushings. then there is a pic with it all the way up after the bracket was installed. as you can see its about an inch higher than before. this worried me at first. because i thought it might not drop as much. but it is the same as before no worries! i started to think about it and i really like the extra clearance. because now i can run lower pressure and still be the same height. this will increase ride quality nice! over all i give this fix two thumbs up to uas for this one.
looks good. when you ride with less air does the bags make more noise for you? live over rough roads, do you hear more clinking? cause there is kinda less "preload" with less air.
