    ...is that stock?
    Just kidding! :)
    maybe I missed it, but did you use a hardtop windshield to get the top height where you wanted it?
    Nice Job!

    So I am putting all this in the delivery

    The only thing that was even close to a pain (but not really) was mounting the sensors. You have to find a spot that has the right about of travel (2.75") so you don’t rip them off.

    I couldn't get to the back side of the frame where I wanted to mount them so I welded in nuts (don’t use the stainless stuff they give you it will bind up)
    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]
    the bottom mount was just a matter of drilling a hole in the a-arm
    [​IMG]

    on the back I had to make mounts so that I would have some room for the tie rod.

    all the wiring harnesses are pre made so I had some extra sensor wire to hide
    [​IMG]
    After that the rest was easier than hooking up a CD player (8 track for you old folks) I had the entire system hooked up and programmed (it programs itself) in about 5 hours

    i just read about that in Cl***ic Trucks. Amazing what they come up with these days. It seems like a great ride quality adjustment!

    Tell us how you like it!

    Well I cruised the car all weekend and so far the system works great. I can’t believe how accurate it is. When I get out of the car, it lets air out of the driver side to level it out and them pumps it back in when I get back in. I was on a hill at a stop sign and it put air in the back to compensate for the shift in weight. It’s a wild set up

    Zac,

    Awesome install and glad to hear that the system is working well for you! We always enjoy hearing customer descriptions on how well the automatic RideMonitor Mode works... Being as it took about 3 years worth of R&D to perfect, every success story is much appreciated.

    Your car looks awesome... now go put some more miles on that thing!
