I actually already have another set of the CPP modular spindles for The Wilwood brakes. That sucks!!! If I go static, I’d need front & rear springs and a c-notch. |

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
Nothing wrong w/that either. I can't afford the high end air management control set-ups w/the height + pressure sensors controlling auto height adjustments & seen more than a couple NET stories of failed control units so I stick to basic old school air management which becomes old when driven a lot. Thus, my decision to go coil-over.

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
I don’t have to super fancy accuair setup. Just the manifold, compressors, and controls.

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
I skip any electronic 'control'. Pneumatic paddle valves for all 4 corners, 2 small Thomas comps, & 2 3gal alum tanks is what has worked.

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
I am using an electronic controller; the Switchspeed setup from accuair. But Yep, 2 compressors and 2x 3-gallon tanks.

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
I also ordered a set of wheels for Walter today. Pretty basic stuff... 20” American Racing grey Torque Thrust’s and Toyo Proxes ST-3’s: 20x8” with 255/45r20 & 20x10” with 295/40r20’s. I need them before I can even move Walter back to the lift.
I really wanted to go with Salt Flat’s, but my vanity got the best of me in that I want the brakes to show ![]() Last edited by nlped; 01-25-2020 at 11:46 PM. |

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
Tires arrived today and the wheels show the expected delivery date as tomorrow. If they show up, I’ll mount them tomorrow night and get them on Walter so I can move him to the 2-post. Then this weekend, my next attempt for getting him done will begin!

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
Now that I’ve gotten the Falcoon to a satisfactory stopping point and have started back on Walter. I got the new wheels & tires mounted tonight and on so I can get him moved to the 2-post lift. I think they look great with the big Wilwood brakes behind them... I’m off Friday-Monday, so I’m hoping to get a lot accomplished this weekend.

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
I got Walter moved over to the 2-post and broke him apart. But here are a coupe of pictures to show front at approximate ride height and how close the rear bumper gets to the pavement with the biga$$ 29-1/2” tall tire.

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
Unfortunately, it didn’t have the bed on it. And now it’s apart so I can fit the Slosh Tubz, PorterBuilt heater box delete pieces and hood hinges.

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
No problem man. Thanks for that pic. I really like where you have the air tanks mounted, I may change mine to the same location. I've got dual compressors mounted on the side of the frames rail behind the rear wheels with a single air tank that is behind my boyds undermount tank. I made my own brackets, but didn't realize that placement would not let me add a hitch. Those are PB compressor and tank mounts correct?

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
I wasn’t feeling well yesterday so I didn’t get anything done. But I’m feeling better today, so I went to work on getting the Slosh Tubz installed. WOW!!! What a PITA, but they are in. And, low and behold...Walter now lays the front PorterBuilt kmember on the ground and the 255/45r20’s are free and clear. I wished the front bumper was on, but I can envision it.
