Default Air ride fitting Question

ok, so I have Randode's rear brackets, and they have 3/8 fitting on them, and I am running 1/2inch line. What part do I need to make this work? a part # would be awesome , I guess I could run 3/8 line but then I still have to change stuff at the valve. Whatever is easier and cheapest to do.

Thanx,

Reduce at the valves... usea 1/2 to 3/8 reducer and run 3/8 line IMO

The 3/8 moves the rear up to quick anyway. run 3/8.

plus its easier to work with anyway.

Just my $.02

I ended up just changing the fitting to a 1/2inch fitting. I got them on today.
but now the rear sits higher then it did with the EasyStreet sleeve stuff that was on there. It is about and inch higher.

were the sleeves easy to install? As many times as I have had the suspension off I have never been able to wrap my head around how they mount, at least by the pics on the easystreet website.

they were already installed when I bought the car, but after taking them off, I can tell you that it is not going to be as easy as the Randode bracket install. You have to drill some holes in the frame of the car, and they are not in a very easy spot to get to. i had a hard enough time getting a socket in there.

here is a few pics of the back all the way down with the Randode brackets and SS bags.
I will be putting my old stuff back on tomorrow prob.

I don't really see how the slam bag with the internal bump stumps could be as low as the airlift sleeves.

But I've never seen Randode's kit in person.... But the smallest a slam bag can get is 2.8 inches and I swear my airlift sleeves got smaller then that. Slams will ride better tho.

They all ride like junk when you are rollin 20's with 30 series. lol

The randode kit should be around $100-$150 not the $200 they get. And they need to be cleared or finished because mine look horibble right now, Oxidized. Not knockin at all good product works great, but if some thin else can get lower why not.

I am about a year and a half away from 4 linkin the rear and dragin the front on dubs. or throw sparks and drag body kit.
