Thanks again Rusty, great job with the install!

Marcus, I just picked these up right before Wekfest, and Rusty finished installing last weekend.

Also, there's no lip touch either raked or all the way down. I think the fronts are sitting at roughly about the same level regardless.

love playing with the switches

no... i mean your fender touching the lip of your wheel, or being the same level as the lip of your wheel. not bumper.

yeah that's what i was referring to as well, i can't get low enough in front or back for the lip to touch the fender.

After playing with Pat's set up. I'm going to have to buy a set up too!

We should we rename Air Suspension to "Panty Droppers"

UAS, FBSS. but riding on stock shocks. I don't think I can get as low as you in the fronts. But we thought about cutting the rear cups too, but played it safe and left it for now.

im almost positve cutting the rear cups will only strengthen the integrity of the cup... you figure a take the larger of the two cups and trim that down anywhere from .5 to 1.5 inches and as the cup size decreases so does the distance from the top of the cup to the base.. walls are stronger closer to the bottom.. in theory...

i too have stock shocks and want new ones haha but 70psi in the fronts and 35psi in the rear rides cool for me.

which gauges/switches you go with?

i picked up the Easy street Autopilot kit, pretty neat.

I picked up my set up from Alvin (yt35) and he already had the dakota digital and std 9 button switch. I think you're probably right about it being safe to cut the cups. I was more referring to not completely bottoming out in case of a failure with the air system. Right now at max low my car is still driveable although rubs quite a bit.

For some reason yours looks a lot lower in the front. How much did you shave off of the shock where the bag mounts?

just that ring... didint get all the way down to the shock of course but close enough to get the line to the fitting.

im also on 18's so im just lower in general.

I had a fuse blow on me while i was pancaked sitting frame...in a spot where my car needed to move.. haha that was fun driving. good thing i only needed to move it 6 feet haha. now i keep fuses in the glove box just incase.

bags are fun though ... i own driveways.
