well today i ordered the rest of the parts i needed to get the front riding on air.
now i just have to finalize my thoughts on how im goin to build my switchbox. any one have wiring diagrams?
im thinkn of make a system like the avs box itd be pretty simple, or for now just wire up the 3 switches i need, after all its gonna be quite some time till i bag the back

only problem is that i wont lay out, need to cut the fenders and figure out how im going to tuck these rims. not to mention i still have to figure out how to mount my edc while keeping the auto tensioner.

making your own switch box is easy..what ever switches you get need to have at least 3 pins(simple up and down for one bag..2valves)

all switches need to have constent power to the middle pin and the other 2 are your choice of which valve..always to the power wire of the valve...just buy a 9wire switchbox wire from SD.com

ya i ended up gettn 10 DPDT, center off, Mom-Off-Mom, rockers from digikey.com for $21 shipped. part number SW311-ND, incase anyone wants to know
gettn diodes from radioshack soon
i saw the wire on SD, but i think imma just get some wire from work and find some wire loom somewhere.

okay got another question and dont feel like makn a new thread.

would i be save to cut my spring pockets one day and drive for a bit with the coils still in? maybe bolt them in somehow?
also how do yall secure the lower cup? there isnt a nut welded like on the upper.

I put my springs back in my cut pockets, been driving it for close to a year no problems.

yeah as long as you dont go crazy and cut the pocket out completely you will be fine running springs later. i have done this plenty of times in the past.

as for the lower cup, most just let it float in the control arm. some have welded in nuts to secure it, but its not needed.
