Here's the switchbox I made using 4 three prong switches and 2 six prong. I installed the valves in the spare tire area.

A few build pics

I've made a few changes to my air ride setup. Since the last time I posted I added larger air line, electric valves, and new fittings. The system is at 180 psi. I still have my first version in there too all plumb to the factory bags. 3/4" fill 1/2" dump on the front 1/2" fill 1/2" dump on the...

I had a problem with the Dorman UCAs. I ordered a set from rockauto and the arms were two different designs. Thinking it was just a fluke I returned them and went to autozone who carries Dorman parts as well. Same thing happened. I received one thick barred arm and one thin barred arm plus...

Thanks guys. Here's some additional info on the exact diagram I used to install my kit. bagriders.com/modlab/tech/install_manuals/bag_riders/BR_manual_kit_install.pdf

Lol yeah i did wear the ass out of a few words lmao. But yeah those are 2006 v6 mustang wheels. The previous owner had them redrilled. They look good but I'm considering buying something bigger soon. There's a few factory wheels I like from the MkZ and the Focus which share our bolt pattern.

Thanks man. I just took my time and did everything in sections so the car never saw any down time. I'd say the hardest thing to do was assembling the fittings under the switch panel. It took me a week to make it in a fashion that is serviceable while on the road. If one of the valves fail all...

With everything mounted and the compressor wired up I tested the system and checked for leaks. All was good. The front begins to rise at 80 psi while the rear will begin to rise at 40psi. Max lift for the front is around 110 and the rear is about 80 or so. I was surprised at how much lift...

To make sure the relay had a keyed 12v ignition source I bought a piggy back add a fuse kit from vatozone. I then looked at a the fuse panel diagram and picked a non essential component to tap into. Once this was done I routed the main power wire back to the trunk like you would in any...

Next up was installing the viair compressor. This is my temporary setup until I redo the trunk next year so I used a piece of plywood and cheap vinyl from Joann's fabric to make this I added a fused distribution block so that I could add another compressor and amp next year.

After ruining one strut I searched for a replacement. A local member had one with a leaky bag but the strut was good but wasn't all good because I needed the opposite side. So what I did was switch my good upper housing and bag to the good strut cartridge.

As far how the bags get air there are few options. In an old writeup Kale drilled and tapped his metal front struts to accept the fitting of his choice. My air struts are the plastic ones so I had to do something different. What I did was cut the lip off that locks the factory solenoid in...

Once the feed lines were routed I then ran air lines to the rear bags. I basically followed the path of the stock air lines. I made a small slit in the grommets that pass through the trunk floor and zip tied the new lines to the factory lines. To make sure there will be no chaffing I also...

Once that was taken care of I moved on to routing my first air lines from the tank to the inlet side of the valves. It would take awhile to explain how to plumb it but.... I have 4 valves and two feed lines from the tank. Each of those feed lines split into a Y ptc fitting. My then I had to...

So then wanted to get the tank outfitted with its fittings so I can begin running air line and set up the manual fill, compressor feed, and line outs. Even threw on a provision for an air hose that way I can use my mini impact or air up a tire.

Next I had to mount the tank. I chose to mount it kinda deep under the package tray because I knew I'd lose some trunk space. I used two fairly large L brackets and some 3/8" nuts bolts and washers to secure it.

Here's what I did to gain manual control over my air ride system. This all began when the factory compressor took a dump on me and forced me to install a set of coils for awhile. During that time I read every writeup that had to do with aftermarket air management on our cars. I chose paddle...

I'm looking for a driver side air strut.c it has to have the plastic upper housing.

Back when I had a bagged Suburban I ran into issues finding wheels with the correct offset and back spacing needed to lay the truck out. While shopping around I found out that most wheel suppliers on fleebay stock blank wheels. Meaning that once your order is placed they will then drill out...
