just some quick pictures. i wil take mor etomorrow but i kuts wante dto get home. as faras ride improvement? its like night and day. it makes a lot of difference. i just need to tweak a few things here an there. its doesnt have valves right now but i will get the front done also then ill do it right. but it is something worth doing if you have a more than 4" drop. it rides so smooth. ill you have to do is to align the bag and brackets right, weld the bottom plate and upper plate is bolted to the bag. i will defenitly show pics of it tomorow of the outside.

gooz thanks for the brackets.

well i used the same style cupling you have on the end of a compressor. female. then then i used the maleside to connect both side to get the air to the bag. a soon as i have it how i want it i disonnect them. did the same to both sides. the couplings are expensive i used 1/2" line t came out to 70 bucks for 8 connectors push connect style. as far as the isnstallation. i first welded the bottom plate to the axle. then i bolted the cup style bracket to the tp of the bag with the connectors and line already run through. then i screwd the bag to the bolt in the middle of the bottom bracket. it goes in like a normal coil.
thats a pic that i just tok right now,sorry for the bad quality

Oh ok I got you!
I like the way my DKM kit is, it rides a bit harsher than before but not much!Main complaint is the bottoming out because of the bumpstops (even though they are trimmed low enough).
Did you have similar issues with your 5" McG drop?
