    Let me get this right you weld your shock/strut to the tube?

      I welded the tube supplied with the kit to the strut housing. just like the bc coil setup. Then you weld the shock to that tube. If you want low like my vert. You need to cut the tube off the strut housing flush at the bottom and pretty much the shock will sit flat right on that once everything is welded up.

        Mike, you have any pictures of the lift? (when you had it welded all the way down like that)

                So thats full lift? I may have to cut a bit higher than you, not trying to rattle my teeth out when i have to scoop up the grandparents or something. When aired out, were you at 0psi, or did it lay out before the bags were fully empty?

                And im glad you addressed the handling woes that so many anti-air people have flooded the internet with.

                BTW, what are you rocking now if you sold this setup?

                  Im on ground control coils with chopped housings.

                  Yes, as soon as I hit the ground it was under 5psi. so I guess pretty much zero.

                    these kits could be used for either.

                      what about your oil pan would it ever hit the ground when you slamed it?

                                Great post! I was wondering if I was the only one drilling holes to control arms
