How low did you have the EQT coils set? Just get annoyed with driving around lowered?

25.5” FTG, so not really low, just wanted to go lower and have ability to raise up for my driveway lol

Sidemount put together

too late now, but all you have to do it unscrew those 2 Allen bolts and put the bracket on the side of the comp - mine are side mounted but i also used the spring and rubber noise isolation mounts.

Im also directly bolted to the body though so the noise and vibs was a bigger concern.

Great to know….I might take it off and redo it. Either way…. Getting work done

So after AJ schooled me on the compressor…..

I took everything apart, removed the Compressor from the side mount bracket, remove the compressor mounts and put them in the side mount position, reinstalled to subfloor and repositioned everything.

it actually allowed for a better routing of the compressor airline which will make the OEM floor fit better when installed.

Trimmed the floor to fit with the tank….will have to mark and trim L/R sides of the flap at some point

 

[swcrow]

Found a Better way to fit the floor flush

bags goin' in tomorrow....can't wait. Just have to run the airlines at the same time it's on the lift.

Soooooooooooooooooooo got the bags and system in. What a PITA. Fitting and refitting sucks. PSA.....unscrew those rear shocks almost all the way.....if you don't, you'll be bouncing literally out of your seat.

Other than that, definitely took time to wrap concerned areas of air line routing with fuel line to help with rubbing. Ziptied everything. bags didn’t align perfectly with perch until Aired up, as you’ll see in a pic below.

After elongating the rear shocks, it rides a million times better, but still going to dial them in.....happy medium between length and pressure....such a game. Now for the pics:
