ALERT:Air Bag / Brake loss connection
I have a 80 Camaro clip with Fat Man narrowed A-arms and Air Ride air bags. If you position the bottom of the Air Bags to close to the wheel they will press against the caliper when backing up while turning the wheel to the full turn position. This will force brake fluid back into the master cylinder. The next time you press your brake pedal it will go to the floor.A few pumps brings your pedal back and then you have brakes again. This happened to me 4 times on the first day I had my PU on the road ,each time it was after I had made a turn while backing up , so the first time I used the brakes I was going slow in a parking area and luckily I did not run into something .I moved the bags in so they now have clearance and have not had the problem since.
