lol...true that.
Honestly, in theory, I love the idea of air...
but Florida roads are good enough to not really need it. I am done riding slammed anyway so a nice static 1 finger gap stance is perfect for me...which saves me tons of cash on having to buy air anyway.

I'm sure it's cool to have.

Right! I couldn't believe how buttery the roads were when I was there last year. And everything is so flat too, that helps a lot. Here it's like a damn warzone. There's literally sections of highway that I refuse to drive on in anything (even cars from work) due to the road being so torn up.

I finally got everything situated, aka I finally got all the correct/needed parts. I have a very slight air leak on my right rear somewhere. I think the line may be leaking ever so slightly at the fitting since I can reach under there and move it a bit and it quits leaking. It's very very very slight, but I'm gonna check it out tomorrow after work.

I am going to take the camera out this weekend and get some snaps of it, so be on the lookout for those.

No Todd I said reach under not around.


Also gnuts per your request.


I know the front isn't crazy high, but I wanted an OEM-ish drive height, so I didn't crank the front struts too high. There's maybe 3/4-1 inch thread showing in the front?

I desperately need to wax it too.

BR had the rears (9.5) in stock but didn't have the fronts so those are having to come from Rotiform themselves. As well as the centercaps.

Forgot to post my controller mount. It's amazing what a $15 cell phone mount can do.

Sweet. How are you liking the 3H system so far? I'm looking to upgrade my management soon, I only have the manual 2-switch set up and it's a pain in the arse. My car sometimes airs up unevenly and looks retarded. Lol

It's excellent. It has a ton of great options and whatnot. The controller has 5 presets, all of which can be modified. It also has an option to maintain your presets, which you should definitely keep on. It'll keep the psi for each bag at the desired pressures. I think it has like a 5psi zone, so like my drive height is 80F 75R and when it gets to like 69 (for any reason, I've fixed my leaks currently) it'll auto add air to that corner for you.

Also (I got interrupted earlier, I'm at work) the 3H has the height sensors. They are these little arms that you mount near some moving suspension arm and attach a little rod to the arm, then it adjusts everything depending on what height they are reading. I haven't installed them yet (they aren't required, and I haven't gotten around to it) but I'll be sure to let y'all know how they work when I do. The 3P (pressure only system) is pretty damn good. The manifold/harness are really neat and organized and you don't have a whole slew of wires, just one simple thing to mount and plug up.

The rears showed up yesterday, and I am overly satisfied with them.


Nice little bit of concave


The rear spoiler also showed up, I may try and get it on today at work, but we'll see.


Did some test fitting too.




Still not really sure when my front wheels will be here. Waiting for Rotiform for those still. Then it's time to play the "what tire should I buy" game.

More great news.

My compressor won't turn on and is dead. It's wired as it should be (according to the Air Lift manual and I called them to confirm how we have it ran, it's all correct) and I'll have to call Air Zenith today to see what to do next. This whole thing has been a nightmare.

Damn dude.


I have the same compressor and luckily it hasn't given me any issues.


But times like this make me consider getting a second one just in case it decides to shit the bed one day when I'm nowhere near home....


Just wish they weren't close to $400.

Yeah this sounds like it was just a compressor issue.

Yeah I know, I guess I just got the bad one of the batch.


I did talk to BR and they are going to replace the compressor for me, so I should be back in operation next week.

The amount of issues I've had with this is just astounding. The best part is, all of them have stemmed from Bag Riders.

The new compressor showed up today, minus the filter that goes on the end of of it. I sent my whole compressor kit back to them (minus the relay, since that wasn't malfunctioning. I checked everything on it with some of my techs tools) with the understanding that the new one would come with a filter since it did the first time. It did not. Now I have to wait who knows how long until that shows up.

The moral of the story? Do not go through Bag Riders at all. Yes they've been helpful on getting me the correct parts, however as "air ride specialists" they should know the proper parts and the proper ways to do all of this. It's ridiculous that I've had the wrong parts, parts missing, and been told the wrong way to wire things.
