Well it's gonna be a ROADSTER, so no back seats, or top for that matter ![]() I like the dual tanks idea, have to take some measurements, I thought about putting them under the floorboards on either side, not sure if it will work ![]()

Re: Air Ride For Dummies
I think they would have to be some very thin tanks to put them under the floorboards on a 72, the 73 and later I think have a lot more space.

Re: Air Ride For Dummies
Hey luv, take off the left and right rocker box covers and try to figure out a way to slip the tanks in the holes if they will fit and run the air lines out the back cover. I dont know, just a thought.

Re: Air Ride For Dummies
You can mount the tanks for your Blazer in the rear...

We have lift, well on the back at least. Now it's on to the front.

Re: Air Ride For Dummies
Any chance you could give me item #'s off those KYB shocks of yours? Just trying to compile a shopping list to finish bagging mine. Thanks.

Re: Air Ride For Dummies
Still moving along, got the drivers side of the front end done at least. The brackets from suicide doors couldn't be any easier. Finished up most of the wiring and plumbing. Hope to be back on the road very soon.

Re: Air Ride For Dummies
How about telling what each switch does?? I think I have it in my head, but want to know for sure!
And are those "On-Off-On" switches? I mean...center is off and you can throw them both ways? I have looked every where for some momentary ones like that...that size. (INFO PLEASE)

Putter, on my particular switch box there are 7 total switches. 1 switch for each corner, 1 for front only, 1 for back only, and 1 for all 4 bags. They are "On-Off-On" switches, pushing them one way lets air in to the bag, and the other way lets it out. They always return to the center "off" posistion. I bought this box from *****************, I can't say that I have ever seen just the switches for sale by them selves, not this small anyways.

Re: Air Ride For Dummies
Putter, I did a few searches but can't find those switches right now. They are similiar to ones that I have used in the past. Keep in mind the switch controls a relay, so they don't have to be rated very high.
I used a similiar set up on my 77 with 5 switches. One for each corner, and one to dump the system. ![]() |

Re: Air Ride For Dummies
I don't want to give my idea completely away, but there is a power window switch out there that gives you a switch for each corner (each window control), and a push button you could wire for dumping the entire system. I haven't wired mine up yet, but I bought it off eBay for ~$20. It has the added bonus that the switches will be backlit at night too. Now like I said, I don't want to completely give it away, but look up an early 90's 4 door bmw power window control switch.
