Re: Complete Scotts IFS install (how to) with pictures...

Okay, back to some more of the technical stuff.

Because there is not real set way to tell you where to place your air bag, we use this method:
Holding you’re a-arm at ride height (the bottom a-arm level to the ground) measure from the bottom bag plate up 3-1/4” and make a mark on the frame.


Make the same mark the full width of the bag plate and draw a line. This is where your upper bag mount will sit.


The center mark here is the center of the crossmember which is also the center of the lower bag bracket, and the center of the upper bag bracket.



Another near impossible dimension to give is the location of the upper shock bracket. So rather than try to taken a dozen different reference points, how about if we just put it in the only place it can go…

Bolt on the shock to the lower shock mount and bolt on the upper shock mount to the shock. When you compress the shock the upper bracket will lay on top of the frame in the natural position. Tack it there in place. Then simply match the other side.
