    Spacers for my air suspension

    Lately I've been thinking about my front airbags which are basically like McPherson struts, but with an airbag instead of a coil spring And I was concerned because these were made to lower a Maverick not keep a broncos sport at stock height And then raise and lower it like 3 in each way...

    1. 2023 bronco sport heritage 2. Universal air air suspension 3. I can can slam it all the way down or bring The front I think an inch and 3/4 IIRC and the rear goes I think an inch and a quarter higher than stock So basically when I measure the lowest points on the exhaust it used to be 8.6...

    Air suspension

    I finally measured the clearance under my baby bronco after raising the air suspension And so I am measuring from that. I don't think it's the catalytic converter. I think it's just a resonating chamber, but it's like a big cylinder bigger than the exhaust pipe. That's a couple inches long and...

    Homemade Strut Bar

    I must be misunderstanding something. Can you see where I circled those posts look like they're 2 or 3 in so if the bolt's only a quarter inch longer I don't see how it would be long enough

    Homemade Strut Bar

    Nice. I used to do this on my mustangs. Just get a bar bend it if it needed to fit around stuff now. I usually use two bolts on each mount so four in total but cool. Looks good. The one thing though where the bolt goes through that's really long. Is there a reason that it needs to be that tall...

    Do lifts cause long-term problems with the Badlands?

    Yeah but I guess I just want to make sure you know it's not that hard to learn this stuff so it's out there if you want to. Like I had a friend just recently he has a Badlands. He was off-roady and scraped a rock all the sudden. There's a whining noise but only every now and then and he was...

    Do lifts cause long-term problems with the Badlands?

    I don't have one either. I have a toolbox and a $200 used air compressor, which actually isn't even working right now and hasn't been for like a year, so I could run probably $50 worth of air tools I got from harbor freight. I don't have anything special and I still get it done. Basically...

    Do lifts cause long-term problems with the Badlands?

    In my experience especially with small lifts if it's done right there is no appreciable increase in wear on the vehicle assuming they are quality parts. So do your homework. Make sure to get a good kit that's been done by multiple people and, you can be reasonably assured that they're real...

    Air suspension

    I'm just a boring accountant, although I have done other things in my life. Also, the air suspension actually isn't that hard even with making your own compressor setup. If you can replace shocks, run wires, and have basic knowledge about installing electronics on a car you can do air...

    Air suspension

    I had some family stuff going on so I didn't get to finish. This is soon as I wanted but I took one of my plugs out of my air tank and hooked up an air hose to it. So I can now run air tools off of my air compressor set up for my air suspension as well.

    Air suspension

    So I finally got down to trying to figure out that slow leak and it turns out one of my valves had a broken o-ring so I'm hoping that's the issue. But I also found some crud in there. I took the whole valve body apart in case someone wants to see what's inside these things. I'm going to try...

    Air suspension

    So I just looked and the brand name viair 485c compressor. Most brand name kits use is rated 2.2 CFM at 200 PSI and I use the cheap Amazon one which looks like it's rated at 1.7 CFM at 200 PSI and my home air compressor 20 gallon tank was like seven or nine CFM and I think the PSI was like 100...

    Air suspension

    that is a good point. I hadn't thought about that. Well the parts to do it came in but I'm on a business trip right now so hopefully I'll be able to let you all know this weekend. Yeah my home air compressor had like a 20 gallon tank and was like seven or 9 CFM at some pressure I can't...

    Air suspension

    I've decided to finally add an air hose so that I can inflate my tires with it and run air tools. I just had to order a 1/2 inch to 1/4 inch adapter because the only holes I have left in my tank not used are half inch ones. And they only sell them in packs of two but that was only like $8 and...

    Air suspension

    So I just want to give an update. Everything is still going good on the air suspension. However, the cheap Chinese air solenoid that I have controlling it right now, which is basically a clone of the Accu-air VR4 I think it's called. Well I've noticed that it's not machined well and so there's...

    Air suspension

    Got it slammed down at work. It doesn't quite tuck the tires all the way anymore but it gives me a nice lift now when I want it.

    Air suspension

    No, the next thing I'm going to be doing is making subframe connectors and they're also going to function as rock sliders. But they'll be nice and tucked way up high so you won't really see them and they won't affect ground clearance hardly at all. Them maybe some lights and a grill guard...

    Air suspension

    The rides good. It's a little softer. It does take some time to get it dialed in to how you want it, but it has so much adjustment built into it that it's not really an issue but just the way that I've got it. It's a little softer. Other than that everything's good and I can raise and lower the...

    Air suspension

    Just wanted to give a heads up. They are now officially selling the bronco sport air suspension kit, which is the exact same kit that I've been running on mine for a couple weeks now and I stayed in communication with the manufacturer so he knows what all had to be changed because it started as...

    Air suspension

    Thought I would give an update. I tried to get the suspension all dialed in. the front is sitting perfect but the rear I'm still having problems getting it to sit at the stock height for the rear. The springs just don't extend that far. I had bought some Firestone 2-in spacers online and just...
