I didnt really stick to the budget plan that I had.. Just good parts at a decent price.

(4) Dominator 2600 Bags - $300
Viair Dual 480 compressors - $325
(8) SMC 3/8 Valves - $225
AVS alum. 5 gallon tank - $70
EAI 7 chrome Switchbox - $35

Looks like I got about $955 wrapped up in that stuff..

The SD crossmember isn't part of the air management but I picked it up for $700 during the introductory sale in Oct 08

Bazooka · 12-05-2009, 07:06 AM

Inching closer.. Its really dusty under there going to have to clean it back up when I get it home.. Its also going to get new rotors and calipers when I switch the front back to 6 lug..

**scotts62** · 12-05-2009, 10:02 AM

Man that thing is coming along fast! looks good!

protrash64 · 12-05-2009, 10:14 AM

Looks sweet Bazo!!! 3/8's is a good size for the valves.....1/2'' was too fast for the rear and I downsized to 3/8's on my 'burb. It will lift the truck but not violently.

ruffrida2005 · 12-05-2009, 03:01 PM

Bazooka I've heard bad things about running the compressures upside down like that. You might want to check with Viar, but I believe they did a write up about doing it like that.

They say that because it may cause the compressor to heat up faster since heat tends to travel upward. I don't plan on running the compressors enough for that to be a concern. I actually bought the compressors for my 54 Belair. Was going to run them on a 12 gallon tank in the trunk but I ended up selling the car... They are a little overkill for what I need but I already had them.. It wont take those 480s long at all to fill that 5 gallon tank

creep · 12-06-2009, 07:39 PM

Man, that's so cool!

Did you get the shock mounts with your crossmember kit? I'm statring to test fit all my stuff but I have no idea where to put them.

Yep shocks are on there.. if you look close at the last pic I posted above you can see the upper part of the shock peeking over the rotor.

Just got news the truck is ready to come home. Pics later on

creep · 12-06-2009, 10:16 PM

If you could please measure how far back the shock mounts are from the upper arm mount for me it would be greatly appreciated.

ruffrida2005 · 12-06-2009, 10:56 PM

Here you go Creep Mine were 4 1/4" on each side. That's what Jason told me. They go in the second hole.

ruffrida2005 · 12-06-2009, 10:58 PM

Bazo did you have a problem getting the inner fender to mount to the firewall with the shock mount there!
