Every time my Iphone goes off with an email to this thread I get excited and I can feel the knife twisting

I talked to Adam at Mobsteel today about a set of white 20's.

klmore · 01-25-2013, 03:53 PM

Little longer and it will be on the ground.

I would check those sensor rod lengths with the weight of the burb on the groung with air in the bags.
The rear rods look really long for the amount of travel in those accuair sensors.

Just looks like the rearend is hanging.

Drum roll please........

I agree, maybe it is the angle of the picture but the sensor/rod seems like they will run out of travel before the suspension does??

That was on the lift with limiting straps on the suspension. I need to make permanent straps to limit the droop. The bag is not inflated in that pic.

My concern is the bags will compress to about 3" total height.
I'd hate for you to break one of those Accuair sensor arms off when it airs out.
(They are pricey!)

May be just the angle of the picture.

gringoloco · 01-25-2013, 07:08 PM

It's the angle--I even left some play on the upstroke in case he wants to trim the bumpstops later

**lolife99** · 01-25-2013, 07:08 PM

From Accuair:
WARNING: Sensor travel is limited to 2.75”. Over extension
or over compression will damage the sensor

Just looks like you have more than 2.75" of travel in the rear.
I can't tell with the front.

I would just disconnect the arms before you set the truck on the ground.

Edit:
I just worry too much.

It could be. Lord knows Chris cycled the rear suspension 50 times. We will recheck. I still have a short list of clean up items along with new exhaust and alignment.

Thanks Keith, me too. I measured and measured and measured again. No way I wanted to tear up someone else's stuff. The truck is on the ground and working fantastically! Accuair is the bomb-diggity
