The rear height is basically the same as before. What I fixed was moving my rear sway bar towards the passenger side like the directions say once you go so low. That was the biggest issue the first time. I still have the issue of wanting it lower, but you can really "fix" that without cutting and welding. If I cut the bump stop bracket off, I'll have to somehow weld the spring perch back on in order to bolt the bag back on. If I do that, why not do a mini notch in the rear at the same time. That's where I am at now...




At my set ride height, it's fine. Almost exactly like my static drop which was almost like OEM. I'm fine/happy with the way it rides now. Yes I still have the Belltech shocks, but I might try some OEM shocks if I can get my hands on some (cheap) to do a comparison.




No problem. That's why I started this thread and made sure I had all the different heights measured out. :Handshake:

Awesome work man thanks for all the replies looks great!

For the rear, the back is as low as I can go without cutting stuff up. The upper spring perch is part of the rear bump stop bracket and is what the bag attaches to so I can't do the free travel mod. I've looked in to this a lot and found my definitive answer (before cutting mine) from this thread here in post 5

So you haven't done the free travel mod? I cut my brackets off this past summer and haven't had any problems (not saying there won't be though) but for the most part the spring perch is still welded onto the frame so cutting off the bracket doesn't mean the perch comes off with it. I have thought about welding the remaining bumpstop bracket to the frame but so far there hash't been any "bending out/in" of the actually perch.

The metal on the right side of the bump stop is what I am referring to, i basically cut and grinder away all of the bump stop bracket visible on the outside and left the inside "hidden" part alone. Lowered 4" inch in the back that is how much space I have till frame. The red bump stop is an inch tall for reference. I used use an angle grinder and removed the gas tank for safe measure.

Thanks for that pic. In the thread I mentioned, it looked like you had to cut it all off... I might be doing some cutting this week...

What are your concerns with air suspension and the weather? The system runs an air dryer to virtually eliminate moisture from making it into the tank and if you are still concerned you can run a small amount of air break antifreeze or even a little bit of alcohol in the tank. Kelderman has 60% of the ambulance market which are in use from Canada to Florida and they run year round in any conditions.

Many vehicles including semis run air components, we actually adopted the air dryer technology from the semi world.
