thanks for the quick reply, the reason i asked for clarification is the link you have on page 2 gives you a set of (4) and you pick the size

OE struts

Does anyone know what are the lengths of the OE struts (front/back)? I'm trying to piece a kit together and looking at the Air Lift Universal Struts.

They said they need to know the length of the OE struts in order to recommend which universal air struts would do the job

i dont think air struts would work in the rear.... possibly for the front, why not just go bag over oem strut? like whats in the 2nd post in this thread?

also the rear shock limits travel and need to be replaced with some that are shorter to get low.

Bags are probably about 18months old, only on the car for year. Thanks for the response man!

yea you can do it a couple of ways. either use smaller valves or the easiest/cheapest way is to get some ball valves from your local hardware store. put them between the fill valves and the bags. only have the ball valve open as much as you want it to be. more open = faster

^ what size lines are you running Homie? i had 1/2" before (all i could get at the time), but swapped out to 1/4" a few months back. The system is WAY more controllable now.

so guys i got a quick question. i have a ver very very very slow leak out of my air tank, 1psi every . first of i checked eeverywhere with soapy water.. no result. so i ended up pulling my leader hose out n noticed that it has a bad check valve. my question is could the bad check valve cause the air to push back out of the compressor? will getting a new leader hose with check valve solve my super duper slow leak? thanks!!!
