any opinion??

[trevor]

In May I will order a complete air ride system consisting of " s10 road grater, cool ride uppers and lowers but I am in the air on which compressor system to get. For the extra money is the 4800e worth it?? that seems like over kill for a daily driver. Would I be better off with the 4700e?? This is for a SPORTSIDE 03 Extreme.... Any sugestions????

It all depends on how much you use it. The extra volume can be nice at times. What size wheels are you going to run?

I have 20x8.5 with a 45 series tire.. I will be cutting the bed but I will not cut the fenders.. I hope

[darren@ridetech.com]

With a 20 up front, laying it out, you will have to cut the fender well. Gotta watch the ground fx when laying it out too, they hang below the frame. Might want to consider a smaller tire the the AirBar if you don' t want to cut up a lot.

I dont mind cutting the bed. but if I use the upper/lower control arms{arf5000luca} how low can I expect the front end to go with no cutting?? And do I HAVE TO have drop spindles???.

[darren@ridetech.com]

What are the exact dimensions on the 20. 235/20/45? Just figure out the size of the tire and measure it up. Most of the time we use drop spindles, but if you want to use 20' s you might want to stick with stockers.

27" is the height of the tire> I dont want to use dropped spindles if I dont have to.. It looks as if the front air dam will be appx. 1- 1.5 inches off the ground fully deflated with the tires acting as the bump-stop...as they will hit the upper portion of the fender..will this be o.k. to just park, drop it, and let the tires rest on the upper fenders??

[darren@ridetech.com]

No not ok. You want the truck to be resting on a bumpstop or the bag.

maybe I need to re-think my setup?? What would be the best set-up if I do not want to cut the front fenders and get as low as possible? I dont mind cutting up front... its re-locating all the stuff on on the fender wells i want to avoid...by the way.. where can I get bump stops??

If you want to lay frame and don' t want to remove the fender well you will need to run like a 235/35/18. It is like a 24.5" tall tire.
