Well after sitting on them for a couple months, this past weekend I finnaly got my Air springs and BMR lower arms installed on my 70 elky. :cool:
Big thanks to TC member Cam Sweet for letting me use his shop and his expertise... graemlins/beers.gif
I'm really happy with the air springs- they did exactly what I wanted them to- raise the rear about about 1"(was too low)- The Lower arms went on real easy, and look super compared to the old crusty unboxed ones they replaced.
I didn't really notice a major difference in handling... :confused: But I don't have a rear sway bar to bolt up yet- and the upper arms are still the stockers- and judging by the old lower bushings- the upper bushings are shot too... Also I do have the rear jacked up a bit right now playing with rear height, I'll have to drop the pressure in the bags down to 10lbs and see how it handles then...
I ordered a set of BMRs boxed uppers a couple weeks ago- so now I Can't wait to get them and get them installed as well. I guess next up is a 1" rear bar to accent the 1 1/4" bar I already have up front... smile.gif
Anyway, just wanted to report in how the intsall went!
