Nice work so far on your air ride setup, I may copy your setup. What mounting kit did you use for the rear? you mentioned it was from ebay


Haven't done the rear yet but I was thinking of using these brackets

http://www.ebay.com/itm/271303988647?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2648&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

The top ones attached to the steel arm the upper shock mount is on, and the bottom one on the trailing arms. Which I got new ones to weld the brackets onto.

Haven't done much to it lately besides drive it and put new tires on it. This engine is being the biggest headache and it pisses oil, so I'm not driving it for the next couple weeks until I finish rebuilding another engine to put in it.

I would not go with this as it will bend your shock mount horns and cause lots of problems. The best way I have seen is to do something like this that ties them together. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwOntWTI76nLWmpxNXNuNFFuVTA/view?usp=sharing
