Oh snap. BAGS!!! Can't wait to see

 

This is going to be a fun week, I'll be posting pics/updates with the install progress.

Right now I'm just setting my damping and height preferences, it seems that the rears actually aren't adjustable in terms of length though.

Here's all my gear as of now. The rest of it is at the shop.

 

Duuuude, keep the pics coming... Looking forward to seeing the finished product. 😎

 

Nope, does not look like those rear shocks are adjustable. Also dampening = making something wet, damping = adjusting the amplitude of your shocks.

 

Bummer, hopefully that doesn't mess up my height goals.

Whoops, good catch

 

I don't see any threads on them so they don't look adjustable.,

 

Yeah, I don't entirely understand why they left them out. In my mind it sorta makes the adjustability in the front pointless.. Unless the sleeves have way more range of motion than the double bellows.

 

And it has begun!

 

Bags are going to be awesome, especially for our Alberta roads. I'll be up to The Easy Rider to pick up my paddle board in the next couple weeks, be awesome to see this in action. Keep up the great work!

Sup Connor, was just wondering where can I get a kit like that?

 

awesome dude.. what air shocks are those? Im going the same route as well.. Waiting on my items to come in!!!!!! bags for the win!!!! sitting stock as hell lol smh sucks but its great not to worry about speed bumps lol

 

Connor can you explain by what you mean by the rears not being adjustable in length?

I would think that the bag which replaces the spring would then allow you to go lower?

 

Thanks! if you're in town and wanna meet up, I'm usually free most afternoons.

If you got a local installer you could buy through them. Bean garage sells them on this site, and you can also buy them directly from air rex USA.

Mines the airrex GE fit kit. All shocks struts and bags come together, and you can even get their all in one management box. But I opted for accuair elevel with the ilevel controller and a smaller tank to make things more compact.

Well you can see the fronts have threads on them and in the pic above, I lengthened the one on the right just to show this. So it's kinda like coil overs with bags on them. But the rears don't have them. so in terms of shock length, they aren't adjustable. But of course the bag will allow it to lower or raise. Problem is if I adjust the threads on the front, it might not quite match what the back is doing.

As far as my objectives go, I need to be at or very close to stock height on my highest setting. I just can't afford to not have that option when it gets snowy and crap here. But 90% of the time I'll be at my ride height, and then I'll have a fully aired out/parking height.

I called airrex and told them this, and they said the rears might not be able to go that high, but if it's close enough I'll be happy with that. If max height is like an inch or so below stock then they are gunna send me adjustable rear shocks.
hope that explains it!


Not much progress today, just dropped off the fit and getting things started. Should be done around Thursday or Friday!

 

Alright, so today we got the 444 compressor mounted up behind the front rebar. Fitment is perfect, blocks almost 0 airflow. Second mount installed too for future dual compressor setup.

Sadly well have to build a false floor but itll be flush with the back seats when down so not a big deal.

Also, you can follow the progress on instagram.

I like your rims!

 

Thanks siegunso!

 

suspension in. lines, rocker switch, height sensors, and plumbing tomorrow.

VU4 Manifold and ECU and tank mounts


Front struts



Rears

 

Did those sway bar links come with this new setup?

 

Yep, it came with all the suspension components you'd need and it's direct bolt on.

The rear shocks are pretty damn short compared to the stock ones lol. Rear wheel hangs at 2.5 ish finger gap, even less than stock sitting on the ground. Might actually end up exchanging for adjustable rear shocks... Cause that'll be brutal in the winter.
