Re: Air Ride Install - '69 Chevrolet SWB Stepside

was visited tonight by a box full of SMC valves from suicidedoors. first off, let me say that ***************** is a great place to do business with. I ordered these valves Monday, and here today and packaged well...... and I stole them @ $22 a piece. brand new, still in the factory bubble wrap. so now I have......



I removed the front springs tonight. here's a tip. if PB Blaster doesn't work to get the taper fit free, try a propane torch. only heat the spindle body, not the ball joint studs. the heat will expand the female taper fit. works like a charm eerytime I remove ball joints.

Chris, I plan on checking the front cups (drop ins) for fit and finish. I am also completely cleaning the front suspension as well as I can until I can put it on a rack. (hint hint scottrod?!)

got to thinking tonight about a "backup" in case the compressor failed. I may put a tee on at each bag and run a Schrader. bad luck tends to follow me, so anything to increase my odds in the other direction, I should explore.
