Monroe Air Shocks

I have read this and read this ...
Ready to start on this part of the project. Having a beam built -4, custom shock towers.
Is there any significant advantage to changing tower height? What would you do and why?

Here is a list of shocks here too. This info is already posted but it is hard to find.

Page 20 is all the MaxAir shocks.

sorry to spruse up an old thread, but this thread has helped me loads, i have a system including the monroe air shocks tyre pump and a mechanical ball valve. the shocks came but with no connector on them to put a air line in. the connector on the air shock is like a cone for a quick release air connector does anybody know which connector i need to connect up an air line. I'm using hydraulic hose with jubilee clips at the moment which aren't the safest.

The connector is an odd-ball size. It is a JIC #4 thread.

Dropped spindles and a 10 cm narrowed front axle. The airride set-up is from a dutch company called Volksprojects.
They ship to a couple of European countries like sweden, UK, France and Italy.
Compressor is a Viair, Monroe shocks, 20 ltr air tank, 12v 3/8 electric valve's. Very very happy with it.
Don't know the details of the parts, will post them later!

My buddy bought the 803's for a LP style beam, aka loop ends in both ends. Have you guys had issues with the top and bottom holes being straight with each other? They are cocked a little and bind if you straighten then out.

Anyone else had issues?

legotech7 · Posted: Sat May 25, 2013 5:02 pm Post subject: Center grub screws

Ok just read this entire thread . 52 pages whew, an entire Saturday afternoon.
Great stuff. So bottom line! I have a 2'' in narrowed beam, with adjusters, 2.5'' lowered spindles, MA756 air shocks and running 145/65 r15's in the front. I still have the the spring in the beam. For now I will keep the springs and will do the thru rods at a later date. So if I want to go really low, should I completely remove the center adjusting grub screws on both the upper and lower springs so that they just swing freely as I go up and down on my beam? What are your suggestions on how to do this, and if there are any pros and cons.

Thanks one and all........

Hey guys, just wanted to confirm this before ordering. This is for a 69 beetle. Will

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/mon-ma756/overview/

and

http://www.hornblasters.com/products/details.php?i=viair-10002-2-gallon-air-system

or

http://www.hornblasters.com/products/details.php?i=viair-10003-2-5-gallon-air-system

work fine together?

The beetle right now is pretty stock, just has drop spindles. 4" narrowed beam is next, and wheels.

Guys has anyone done this on a k&L beam if so what Monroe shocks did you use?? I'm currently on a standard beam but looking to replace with either a 4 or 2 inch narrowed beam and happy to extend the towers and fit dropped spindles. I would like to be able to get the beam on the ground. Cheers
