New air bag compressors.

I haven't posted any updates on my truck in a long time so here is a little something from last weekend. The compressors are VIAIR duall pack 380's
they come with hardware and everything you need to instal them. I also move my battery from under the hood to the back under the bed. The bed floor will have an acces panel to service the battery when needed.

Looks great! I never noticed it before that you were running a two link setup in the rear. I guess I was always too worried about looking at the front. Great work dude!

X2 on keeping the pics coming.

Thanks guys I am very picky and like things neat!
Yeah the rear is a 2 link setup with a track bar, the links are made from
2x3x1/4" rectangular steal.

What pressure do those airbags require? do you have an air tank and what is the capacity?

Those bags are 14 years old so I really don't know what they were rated at at the time.
I just finished replacing those firestone bags cause they were leaking, I bought some contitechs identical to what I have on my front suspension and I think they are rated at 300 psi.
I have 2 air tanks made out of 6x6x1/4 wall square tube, you can see the battery tray welded to the tank on the driver side and each tank holds 4.74 gallons of air.

Sorry no updates on my truck or the lowered suspension.
My time has been spent remodeling my parents house in exchange for $20,000.00 that they will be giving me to buy my own home soon.
Once I get my own place I will bust my a$$ to finish these two projects.
This is the last thing I built for my truck.







This is how my truck looks like right now cause I haven't been spraying it with WD40 to keep the rust away.

Camera phone picture.


These are the last pictures I took of the lowered suspension.
