hi trs ive looked through the forums and cant really get any guidance ive been building this truck since high school and some things are just getting mushed up.

my first issue is in my front right bag i can fill it up easily but on the release of pressure it just farts and lets way to much air out like its almost purging the line.

im looking to throw another tank and compressor right next to the one i have but cant bring myself to think of the diagram on how to do it so i gotta see how its done.

im currently running a two bar in the rear and have the panhard bar but not installed and im wondering the best way to go about it also when and wat i should set my pinion angle at?

i gotta know how big of a deal no shocks are cause im thinking of doin it just cause ive been cutting on the truck and i just want my baby back.

wondering wat guys have been doin about gas tanks and moving them cause i scrap horribly on it. also moving the cross member cause its shot now a days had too many road turtles.

the body seems to bed as most people would call it and im wondering how to fix or diagnose the problem to see wats gotta happen.

thanks ahead of time for anything you can help me with. if you need to see something about the truck let me know im kinda just in a pickle on it so i appriaciate it

not sure what to say there

with a 2 link your pinion angle will change alot through the range of travel so aim for stock at what your new ride height will be, not sure what that is

i wouldnt do it probably real bouncy

you better get that tank moved before you scrape through it, either move it into the bed or get a fuel cell, as for the crossmembers you can get aftermarket once that relocate the radius arms and a low profile trans crossmember

What are you running for valves on your air system? Sounds like your valve is sticking maybe.

Like dangerranger said, with a 2-link your pinion angle is going to change a lot, so set the pinion angle to what it was stock, which is usually opposite of what the transmission angle is (example: if the trans is at +1 degree, set your pinion angle to -1 degree)

Heres a wiring diagram for wiring up compressors, hope it helps.


and yes, MOUNT SHOCKS, it will move around way too much without them.

you can put the gas tank in your bed, or get a fuel cell, you definitely want to get it out from underneath the truck.
