Mustang Air Ride?

Update: It's back on the ground. The front tires actually bottom out into my inner fenders, so I have to be gentle when laying it down. My quad shock will also bottom out into my rear brake calipers.

I've got some details to button up, but it's nice to see it back on the ground.

Let me know what you think.

well it sounds like you better do away with quad shocks.......since they aren't needed! lol

And better do somethin with wheel wells in the front since it not layin frame yet! hah j/k man looks like it is sittin on the ground for a stang

I flipped the quad shocks when I had a different set of wheels on it. If I flip them back around the other way, they'll clear. I'm pretty sure that the front bags are bottomed out, but the tires are also squished against the plastic wheelhouses. I also put Steeda X2 balljoints in the front. They give an extra 1/2" drop plus help the geometry at ride height.

What is your opinion on the front tires hitting the wheelwells when aired down. Should I worry about this in the case that I blow a line? A couple of people have told me to put bump stops to keep them from hitting (but then it won't go near as low). If I blow a line, it would tear the hell out the wheelhouse. I can get to the line connection on the bag, so I could replace the line and manually inflate the bag if I absolutely had to.

Oh yeah, the roof is 49" inches off the ground when its layed out.

if there is ample clearance around the bag and you have a pressure switch on the compressor which I am sure you do you shouldn't blow a bag. All of our cars lay frame...if they were to ever blow a bag it would get pretty nasty but if set up correctly it shouldn't be a problem. I would leave it the way it is.

I've pretty well got everything wrapped up. I flipped the quad shocks back to their stock orientation and that allowed the brake lines to clear. Everything is mounted and ready to go. It still needs to be aligned. I finally let all of the air out of front bags - man does it go low. Hopefully the weather will warm up and clearn up here some time in the near future so that I can get it back on the road and try it out.

Here are a few pics from earlier tonight.



Here's one with my dumbass in the picture!





I'm going to bed!

You could try to put a 1/2" spacer under the bag.
