Air ride updates

0 Comments

I picked up a couple parts that will be used when I redo the air ride system.

The first purchase was the Viair Dual 485C stealth black compressor kit. The air ride suffers from several known issues. The most glaring is the slow leaks. I have applied JB Weld into two areas I found to have pinholes.

The other issue is the time it takes for the dual air tanks to fill up full capacity. As they say, the compressors are “tired”. Meaning they no longer provide enough air in a timely manner.

The next item was a set of compressor mounting brackets that requires being welded to the frame. The current dual 480C compressors are mounted using self tapping screws. These are not mounted very well and one of the screws had popped off and landed near my tire. That would have sucked getting a flat.
