Do you mind me asking where you got your air suspension installed at? Did you do the work yourself?

How much did it run you? What components do you have? Sorry for all the questions - please PM me with all the info if possible - thanks.

As for doing the work me and a couple of my friands took a weekend to install the whole kit. Wasn't to bad considering it was my first time. Proud to say tested and true no air leaks.

I redid my bags from Chapman universal struts (Easy Street) to the Aero Sport(UAS)/KYB combo. The Chapmans were not that bad, but the Aero sport handles more weight and has a "stiffer than stock" feel to it. I also didn't go down quite as low was the Chapmans, but still low enough to look good

I didn't really get to meet anyone there at the meet, except for tommy who I've met once before. Maybe next time I'll get there a little earlier to introduce myself to everyone.

Thanks for the comments everyone.

I understand pefectly that VIP set up cars have lots of money in Body kits and paint, so slow and quite is the key while lowering and lifting to ride highth and parking stance! I also know that companies like Air Runner use Valve Dump Controls wich alow you to controll the amount of air that comes out the dump valve when lowering it also quiets the air comeing out! but they also make mufflors for dump valves!
Actually ... since I have 3/4 inch lines .. I can drive everywhere and not just have a show car ... If I see a huge bump for some reason I can lift the car to safty too ... this is always important and esp. when you know you might scrap from out of the blue ....


Just a thought .. Noone can predict how the drive will be.... so have to expect the worst everywhere ...

Its great to know you can lift fast and Not damage anything and still control how slow you drop..

ya in my truck i had 1/2" lines and fittings and if i saw a car like dip or bounce up in front of me, i would emediatly push the pancake up button all fours up and it would shoot up and stay clear of any potential harm from scrapping or bottoming out!
