huh.... wrong bottom mounts? Sleeves?

Got any pics of the install and what you are talking about on the front?

What spring rates did you get and how do you like the ride on the coils? I seen they were different spring rates for the 300 and 400/430. Well when I asked before they said you can actually order whatever spring rates.

yea that is really low and yea i learned you not supposed to ride on them inflated. I talk to mr exe and hes running the bold world cup air suspension and he said hes been riding 2 years with his. Give i have no idea how the quality of his cups are to AF. and AR way out of my price range and the UAS arnt people having problems with thebags hitting the suspension components?

yea i know front needs to come down more lol and i know everyone waiting for reviews.

Personally its a good practical kit to drive slammed with proper wheels fitment fender mods etc. and give you that adjustibility to raise up when you need to. Ride is actually not to bad i just dont like the riding on air its a whole new feeling then being on regular coils. my review isnt much as of now but i still got alot of messsing around to do with these coils its just i dont have time with work and trying to jump start my bizz,

ill try to post something a bit more once i actually have this kit set up 100% or the coils and everything!! another thing i have no see any kind of disclaimer saying you cant ride with the cups inflated. I know it says only to clear obstacles but it should also say not dont DD with cups inflated or something of the sort.

lol well i finally got my PSI gauge installed and the rear still sits the same i just havnt been dumping the rear out. for a few reasons

1. camber is out on the passenger side and when dump it hits the rim a bit
2. front sits higher obviously
3. i have no idea i dont want to mess with it lol


Since the installer finally installed the PSI gauge i now have independent front on F and B! thank god!!. Now i dont have to drive all nasty looking. I completely lower the front which is drive height and the fenders need a roll and the rears are completely inflated b.c the installer forgot to give me the wrenches to adjust my coils. But ride quality is great the combo of the air and the coilover is awesome. I been playing with the front all weekend. I just need the rear set when i get the wrenches.

Installer took pix of the set up before install and sent them to AF and the guy i got my setup from to show them what parts are wrong. So once i get everything proper i will have a better update. Sorry my updates are as elaborate as others!!

but ill keep everyone posted!

Did you finish your setup?

Can you please post pictures of where you installed the tank, compressors, etc?

How does it ride?

How long does it take to air up?

Thanks for the help. I'm looking into this setup myself.
