Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
What are you using on your threaded fittings for sealant?
DOT line and PTC fittings? I love the ride on my blazer with air bags. It's just not as low as static can be.

 It takes aboout 2 weeks for the drivers side to slowly bleed down an inch but the ride is night and day with the springs and I am not quite ready to remove the hats off the top of the bags. Later on I may go back with the air bags once I can add a compressor and tank to make them adjustable.

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
Are you hitting the bump stops or do your bags and/or shocks make the ride that rough?
 You're starting to scare me away form bags...

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
Nice ride! My wife has a CRV and loves it.
Did you ever buy a set of rear drop springs for it? Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
Thanks guys. Yes I worked out a deal for some rear springs. I actually think I want to save up a little cash and get the paint done. Truth be told ice kind of hit a wall with this build, been really enjoying driving it. Kind of want to take a little breather for a month of two and see what I feel to do next. Gonna hit the brothers show in June 350 miles south in LA.

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
If I blow it apart it will dropmembered and painted and it will take me years. After looking at Chucks truck on 20s I've got an idea.....
[/QUOTE]There is a complete PB drop member setup front and rear in the for sale area. not badly priced. As for paint, I did just buy myself a good ol cheap gun yesterday!
