Yep. Front and rear of the pinch welds touch and all between them. Ride height is only set with a ball valve and shop air so don't judge it too closely.

Fully down... pinch weld lays from front to back

Forgive me if it was already answered earlier in the thread, but what are you using for a compressor/ tank combo?

 

[rat49f6]

Im gonna convert the a/c pump into a compressor with a 12 volt back up

Air tanks will be a 8 gallon and a 12 gallon under the bed

That sounds like a good idea to me. I would like to get a belt driven compressor for onboard air, but there are little to no options at a reasonable price that leave the a/c in tact.

How are you going to lubricate the compressor without freon running through it any longer?

Looking great Jim

 

[rat49f6]

Nope no need for it and the heater box was kinda in the way of the tire

Tool oiler in the intake side and a oil/ water separator after the pump to remove the unused oil

Couldn't fab something to fit where the second alternator would go?

Probably, theres room next to the top alternator to. I guess I just don't really NEED that much air to put something together. I'm looking forward to seeing how rat's comes together using the A/C pump.
