I have the Air Ride Technologies air ride kit with the BOA and shockwaves in the front, there really is no bracket for the front unless you go with aftermarket control arms because you can't weld on the factory ones because of them being cast aluminum i believe....here is the link to the product with instructions and instruction pictures....

DJM makes control arms for the front

 

[TEXAS DEMON]

thas the best a way to go and just weld a bag plate on top of the c/a.

 

[thor1125]

i would be really interested to see those front brackets work. they look like they are for a coil front end. maybe they bolt to the shock mount. i dont see how they would work tho.

 

[TEXAS DEMON]

what do you have for the front? shockwave or bags?

 

[thor1125]

i have bags ... i didnt wanna go the shockwave route plus the cost of the shockwaves is expensive and i have read that they ride kind of stiff and not enough play in them ..

 

[TEXAS DEMON]

so you are better of with the brackets from coolcars.com and for the rear use the behind the axel brackets.
that way you dont have to cut up the floor

 

[thor1125]

yes bags... slam specialties ...

 

[TEXAS DEMON]

are you using the re 7 or re8 fro the front.

 

[thor1125]

i have a set of the re7 for the front ... gonna be running 1/2 inch lines ,2 viar 480c compressors, 2 5 gallon tanks, fbss switchbox
