What all we installed this weekend:

Easy Street front strut bags and rear sleeve bags, ViAir 380 Compressor, Chrome 3 gallon tank, 8 - 3/8" SMC valves, all 1/2" airline, 3 Easy Street Gauges, black (Tiff says its purple) 10 switch box, 175psi pressure switch (getting changed out ASAP). TRD Strut Tower Brace

More pics once its all finished and cleaned up. Got leaks and other assorted things to get ironed out.

 

video!!

 

Once its all working right, I will do that.

 

Cool. How much did it end up costing for everything? How adjustable is it (+/- how many " about). I am considering doing air on my xB, wanna know what to expect.

 

I know my buddy got the measurement on lift, but dont remember what they were, its been a long weekend.

$1500 roughly. I bought the Easy Street front and rear seperate and the 3/8 starter kit all from www.suicidedoors.com along with all the fittings. Save $400 off the price of buying the entire kit through Easy Street. The mark up their stuff way to much for my tastes.

 

Good to know. A buddy of mine goes through suicidedoors.com too, so I guess they're decent. How much, if any, modification did you have to do to the car? Also, how loud is the pump, and how long is it on? Sorry for all the questions

 

more pics!!!

 

I also highly recommend Suicidedoors.com. We bought our Airlift parts from them as well. They are knowledgable as well as efficient. We have used them for other things in the past as well. For the best in technical knowledge for your questions call Air Lift easy street section directly. They have a bagged xB and the people I talked to there were very helpful. They prefer not to sell direct. That is why their prices are full retail whereas their vendors can sell it as cheap as they want.

 

This is as close to a side shot as I can get until I get it driving again and outside.

cool

 

Nice....

 

Ok, got the back seat out and we can't run the airlines for the rear where they are. They were pinched BAD! So I am going to take it down to the shop this weekend and rerun them with Ricky's help so we can put the back seat back in.

Still has some leaks, will work on them through the week as I can but after an alignment tomorrow (guy was off today) it will be driveable.

Snapped another pic for you guys!

 

easiest way to the run the rear airlines is underneath the rear panel and down towards the rear bumper. There is a parallelogram shaped plastic plug that you can remove and run the line through. This is how I did mine, no cutting except the hole through the plastic plug to get them to the outside of the car.

 

Lookin good ..

 

If your running sleave bags in the rear, you may want to change those. Air lifts original design used sleaves in the rear, but has since been changed due to they bags separating from the rings. Sleave bags are only ment to be used in a vertical orienation, and when placed of an arc of such a short 2 link, it damages the bags. It may work for a while, but will enventually fail. Go with a double convoluted bag or your choice, and be happier and safer.
