Also, I notice some G folks run the airlines underneath the car. Is it possible to run them in the car under the carpet to help protect the line somewhat from the weather?
you can run them in the car under the carpet but it will probably be pretty hard to route them like that because airline is not super flexible and if you kink it in any spot you definatly want to replace it. plus you will have a bunch of buldges under your carpet. running them under the car is really an issue that you have to worry about as far as weather goes. yes eventually they will get weathered but not any time soon.

as for hardline, you can get it at pretty much any big rig (semi truck) store. in the bay are we have "parker". hardlines is the same thing that big rigs use for there airlines for there brake systems. you will also have to get a tube bender. a small one from a hardware store will do just fine. and you will have to use all compression fittings. it looks WAY better in my opinion with hardlines, its just more expensive and a little harder to setup.

here is a tube bender you can get for cheap - http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1...atalogId=10053

hope that helps.

In post #2 shopping list.. Rear cups for rear bags. When purchasing they give you an option on size of cups. For the bags given in the shopping list, what cups should I purchase?
Also, for the front bags shown in the list... Would anyone know if they will fit over tein flex?

i would go for the 2'' or 3'' cups.


i will be doing an air ride install on my new project (69 galaxie 500) and will do a picture log of it. its obviously not the same car, but it will give you guys a good idea of how everything works. i will post the link to the thread (ill be putting the pictures on another forum) in the first post of this thread. once i start.

Hey, I looked through most of these pages and hopefully this hasn't been asked before... but have you guys ever found a pre-made kit that you would suggest? I found this one and read a bit up on it, but obviously I'm no expert... Or would you strongly suggest buying all the parts separately? Thanks!
