Thanks! Spent a lot of time searching for ideas on the trunk setup and I wanted a "functioning trunk" meaning throwing cases of water bottles from Costco and such which I haven't done yet but sadly couldn't fit a check in luggage in the trunk only a carry-on luggage.

I seriously haven't played around with the settings besides the ride preset and getting failure on the height sensors. I don't think Airlift 3p/3h has that feature but yes it bothers me the front lowers faster than the rear granted the front is heavier versus the rear so its logic. But if other Airlift 3p/3h user could chime in, that would be great!

I'm pretty sure it does have the option I was just curious since I didn't see it used in the video lol.

I want the bracket you used but it seems to be sold out everywhere.

I considered doing a spare tire install but afraid of losing spare tire and then needing it in the future.

I'm gonna need to dig into the settings and look for that option.

I am assuming you are talking about the "#becausebags Universal Hanging Management Bracket - Flat" https://becausebags.myshopify.com/pr...nt=28175251913 because if you are they're on sale! I've also got compressor isolator kit https://www.bagriders.com/air-manage...lator-kit.html if you want them.

I am already thinking of doing the spare tire setup later in the year.

Oh wow. Keep in mind these were on sale since November! I figured they would've made a lot of these, maybe boat loads, and keep it in stock.

In for photos!

Just waiting for another shipment from T-Demand front and rear upper arms, tie rod, stabilizer bar and links and that should be a T-Demand complete (unless I want them to make front and rear lower arms), should be here before July if not by June.

Don't really understand the whole offset and tire combination that is why I asked for ya'll help.

Size of wheels in mind:

Front - 19x9.5
Rear - 19x10.5

And yes I know I will have to roll the fenders and I don't want to pull the fenders.

I know I've whored these pics out, but they may be of help. This was my old setup 19x9.5 +15 all around with 225/35/19 tires, fenders rolled.

New setup will be similar but 10.5 in the rear.

According to Ed's it's a yes.
My build is the same as his )

1. lowered on megan coilovers
- about -1.75" lower in the front, -1.5" lower in the back. i adjusted my height so
many times that these are just rough estimates.
- front and rear are 4 clicks away from the hardest settings.
- in pics it doesn't seem like it's much of a drop, but everything is different once you start driving. so be aware.
2. Forgestar cf10
- 19x9.5 +42 front, with a 3mm spacer = +39
- 19x9.5 +30 rear
- 235/35/19 michelin ps2 all around. SLIGHT stretch. these tires run true to size or run
large, so the stretch is minimal.
3. J-POWER camber arms
- toe is 0, camber is -1.5/-2
4. Fender work needed!!!!
- rear fender shaved, bumper taps shaved as well. NO PULL NEEDED
- front is slightly pulled, however i didn't need it at all!!
5. Review
- This is a semi aggressive set up, took a lot of time and adjustment to make it perfect
for me to daily drive with it. i think i should be able to go softer on the comfort, but
it's not too bad right now. i don't rub at all, have about 1 finger gap all around.
Over all, it's a good set up for daily driving I think, but gotta drive carefully and do a
lot of research before going for a semi aggressive or super aggressive set up.

how are the height sensors working out with the 1/4" air lines. Bagriders recommended me to switch out to 3/8 lines. I was trying to calibrate in pressure mode because I don't have sensors installed yet. I have 1/4 " lines but it was just going up and down in the front for about 10 minutes and then failed

Bought my setup from Bagriders and was not suggested to run 3/8" lines. I ran the calibration and was stock at step 16 of step 16 and ten minutes then failed as well. I called Airlift and they said my sensors still needs to be slightly relocated. So right now I am running with pressure.

Mine was stuck at step 11 out of 16 . I hope with the height sensors installed it's good

Try to reset your manifold. To reset your manifold, simply unplug the main harness for five minutes and plug it back in after five minutes. I got this advice from Bagriders. If that fails then you need to relocate your sensors. Do you have photos of where you mount your sensors and your rods too? I would want an idea where it is.

Thanks!
