Amazon bought a school textbook back, and I ordered a set of air springs from them with the return money. Psychology book for air springs sounds like a deal to me. Haha!
Anyways, they're in the mail and will be here Wednesday. I've been studying the underside of the rear end trying to figure out where the best place would be to run the lines. I'm not set on a mounting place yet for the fill valves (I'm not going with an electric pump, just the kind you fill yourself). I've considered mounting the fill valves in the wheel-well on each side and I've also considered running the lines up into the cargo area and mounting them on the interior plastic. The only thing with that is they could be broken off by any cargo I load in, and would be a pain to get to if I had a trailer hitched up.
I'm not sold with mounting them in the wheel-well due to water spray and possibly road debris, but I figure the valves on my tires have held up just fine, so...
Anyways, I'd like to know your thoughts on routing the air lines from the bottom plate of the coil spring (on top of the axle) back up to the body without putting the lines in places they could potentially snag brush or be pinched during body/axle movements.
Please refrain from posting your opinions about the need for air helper springs, I'm looking for advice on line routing.
Thanks for your all your wisdom and input!
I know Ryan is getting a set to aid is OME springs, so if you read this Ryan, let me know if you've determined how you're going to route your lines and where you're going to mount the valves.
THANKS GUYS!
