Install Air Ride Question ? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

CUSTOM 72 · 06-12-2007, 03:14 PM

HEY ALL

I'M FINISHED MOUNTING THE BAGS AND WILL BE INSTALLING THE AIR SYSTEM TONIGHT. I CAN TELL YOU THAT THEY DON'T GIVE YOU VERY GOOD INSTRUCTIONS HOW TO INSTALL IF YOU ARE A FIRST TIMER

. I'M RUNNING THE 2WAY BIG RED SYSTEM FROM AIR RIDE, CAN I JUST LEAVE THE EXHUST VALVES OPEN OR SHOULD I RUN A LINE FROM THEM AND DUMP THE AIR ELSWERE?

IS ANY BODY HAVING ANY PROBLEMS WITH MOUNTING THE COMPRESSOR, TANK AND VALVES UNDER THE BOX -- WITH DIRT WATER ?

ANY PHOTOS OF THE WIREING AND AIR SETUPS WOULD BE GREAT.

I WILL POST SOME PICKS WHEN IT IS COMPLETE.

THANKS TO ALL THAT ANSWER.

you can just leave the valves open. i'd also mount the comp on some rubber pads to cut down on vibration. also the comp would be fine to mount under the bed along w/ everything else. this way if you have to take the bed off you don't have to mess with a bunch of wires. also i'd mount the pressure switch on the same side as the comp, this was you have less wires.
