Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
Possibly. Just not happy with the bags. The springs rode 10 times better and I'm tired of chasing leaks. If I had a compressor and tank the very slow leak that I have would not matter. The springs were a no brainer and for me and a daily driver the last thing I want to worry about is my suspension.

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.

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
Man... when I started catching up this morning I read this and got excited, I pictured a hat with a pic of Shawns truck on it. Now I'm diappointed and feel stupid..

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?

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
I believe I am hitting the internal bump stops inside the bags. In all fairness the bags are only inflated to 25 psi which is to low. I am just wanting to stop worrying about the air. Now someday when/if I do a drop member then things will be different.

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
