Re: 1972 C20 -Airride conversion-

Little update today,

made limit straps for the rear axle.
this way the shocks can't be over extended.
To calibrate the height sensors the ecu sends full tank pressure to all bags.
Without limit straps that would put a lot of tension on the shocks making me worried they would fail.
So after an evening of fighting with 8mm stainles steel cable I ended up with this:


Attached to the frame with a stud:


And to the axle with this little mount



Also some shop upgrades:
solid welding table with built in seat


one side has wheels under the legs, the other side is solid but has a pallet jack pump to jack it up.
this way its solid when in use, and when jacked up really easy to move

Also made matching welding trolleys for the mig and the new tig welders


I've got a couple of days of free time right now. so hopefully lots of progress.
