We are not that much farther than SEMA ;) Maybe the Brothers show in June??

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
 

So you gonna be selling some hats soon?

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
 

Possibly. Just not happy with the bags. The springs rode 10 times better and I'm tired of chasing leaks. If I had a compressor and tank the very slow leak that I have would not matter. The springs were a no brainer and for me and a daily driver the last thing I want to worry about is my suspension.

What are you using on your threaded fittings for sealant?
DOT line and PTC fittings?
I love the ride on my blazer with air bags.
It's just not as low as static can be.

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
 

I am using the DOT red 1/4" line and PTC fittings. When I used to work for a company the built heavy haul trailers, I was in charge of installing the air ride and electrical. We used standard tighten to connect fittings and they almost never leaked. I used teflon tape for my fittings and on the trailers. I am just at a point where I think springs are one less thing to concern myself with and the ride stays low :D It takes aboout 2 weeks for the drivers side to slowly bleed down an inch but the ride is night and day with the springs and I am not quite ready to remove the hats off the top of the bags. Later on I may go back with the air bags once I can add a compressor and tank to make them adjustable.

Are you hitting the bump stops or do your bags and/or shocks make the ride that rough? :confused: You're starting to scare me away form bags...

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
 

I believe I am hitting the internal bump stops inside the bags. In all fairness the bags are only inflated to 25 psi which is to low. I am just wanting to stop worrying about the air. Now someday when/if I do a drop member then things will be different.

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
 

Drop it drop it LOW..........











With a dropmember!
