Not if you had schrader valves installed. However, I would recommend carrying a portable air tank w/ you just in case.

Your a nice guy, I can possibly put the kit on hold until then.

I don't recall how much schrader valves cost. Not much ($3-5?) though.....

Taking your time, it should take no longer than 4-hours.

ocbaud · 11-29-2004, 01:36 AM

with the schrader valve, is the air shared between teh 2 bags??

i dont see exactly how it works

If you plumbed the system how I described earlier, it would allow for independent control of the air springs. If you don't want that, bring the two ends of the air line together, install a "T" fitting, another piece of air line (Length will vary depending on what exactly you do.), and install a schrader valve at the end.

It may not make sense now but it's very simple.

If someone has a picture of what I'm trying to describe, please post it. Thanks.

ocbaud · 11-29-2004, 01:52 AM

i want them to be independant. i know that if they share air, the handling isnt as good.

how hard would it be to install all of this the way my truck sits now??

Yep, that is correct.

No problem at all. A C-clamp or two, drill, 3/8" drill bit, 1" whole saw, and basic hand tools (Ratchet/wrench). Assuming you have all this, you'll be on air in a few hours.

ocbaud · 11-29-2004, 02:11 AM

okay, let me get back with you in a few days about this.

christmas is coming up and i think i would rather have this stuff than the other stuff i asked for

maybe i can get my dad to buy them

what shocks would be good to use? would my DT shocks work since i wont be laying it out???

i think i would only run it low enough to get rid of my wheelgap

ocbaud · 11-29-2004, 02:12 AM

also, what would be a good way to run the airline? and how long would it need to be??

I would run it how I described a few posts ago. Purchase a 50' roll of D.O.T. approved air line but you will only need about 8' or so. I believe 50' is the minimum length you can buy it in online.

About your shock absorbers. Since you will still have inner fenders, they might work. If not, they will need to be replaced. The shock absorbers supplied in the Cool-Ride kit measure as follow:

Extended: 14"

Ride Height: 12"

Collapsed: 10.125

That is measuring from the center of each eye.
