Re: Porterbuilt Stage 1 Front and Rear Kit Chart
Does anyone have any pictures of how and where all the air valves and controller is mounted? Just looking for ideas on how to plumb and set up.

Re: Porterbuilt Stage 1 Front and Rear Kit Chart
Here are some pictures of my air management set up which is Pro Performance's Pro 2 kit. I mounted my valve block, relays, & power distribution block on the cross member that's just behind the axle. The tank is mounted on a 2x2 that spans the rear of the frame where the original rear cross member used to be.

I don't have any pictures of the AVS controller but here's one of my gauges inside the cab.

Re: Porterbuilt Stage 1 Front and Rear Kit Chart
Thanks for the chart. I asked about this about a year ago and this is exactly the information I was looking for. I see in the first few photos you are at 80 psi front and 40 psi rear, but in the last few you list ride height at 60 psi front and 25 psi rear. Is that where you have always kept the ride height, or have you reduced it over time to fine tune the firmness you were after?

Re: Porterbuilt Stage 1 Front and Rear Kit Chart
Matt- thanks for the heads up. I've seen the pics in the regional forum. I definitely want to make it out, I just recently got the front end back on the my truck and got it back on the road. Once I get the kinks worked out I'll feel better about driving it to greenville.

The 4th pair of pictures is aired all the way up, the 6th pair is at ride height, and the 7th is aired up. Hope that helps. - Matt

Re: Porterbuilt Stage 1 Front and Rear Kit Chart
I bought the stage 1 front and added the control arms later and have the stage 2 basic and used CCP trailing arms with blocks... I bought all mine at different times if I could do it again I would have bought it all at once and went with the deluxe kits. but here is the end result. also made some bumpstops for the front because the tire hits the fender. the bump stomps get the tire just off the fender by about 1/4 inch
this is before the bump stops setting on the fenders Bump stops here it is all aired out. I changed the rear bump stops so it sets about an inch lower in the rear
