can i drive with the sleeves deflated?

ttt

No. You frame will be on the bumpstop and it will ride like crap.

[baggedregal]

yes, but will it hurt the bag? i gotta throw sparks one way or another

[darren@ridetech.com]

The F9000 fully collapsed is 4.5" tall. Shortly after that the upper and lower caps will hit each other. Beyond that the bag is also touching the lower plate, which is fine when parked but if you do a lot of driving with the bag touching the lower plate it might wear a hole through it.

well i have plans to use the f9100 ande there like 5.25" and from the spring perch to the bottom of frame is 6" or 6 1/2. so the bag wont get smashed. hey what shock would be best with the f9100 on my g-body to get the most lift with out over extending the bag? or i might have to use long shocks and make up some limiter straps.

can i send money order agian for the f9100? my tax check came is so im ready to pick up them bags[:-]

[darren@ridetech.com]

Yea that' s no problem. Call me and I will quote you a total. The shock that we normally use with that car is 12 5/8" collapsed and 20 7/8" extended.

[baggedregal]

so would the shocks i need extend to like 22-23 inches to get the max lift? o yea about how much psi can i throw at these bags and not have the ring slip off?

[darren@ridetech.com]

Those bags actually have a higher burst pressure than a convoluted bag as long as the shock is capturing the bag from extending past 15" tall.

[baggedregal]

ok, so lets see. is the new bag grows to 15" tall and the old one 12" and the higth of the brackets 1 1/2 (Might want to check on that) putting the old one around 13-14...i think. so really what size shock am i looking for.
20 7/8 is what the old one was so should the new be an an inch or two more? i cant come up with an exact number:(

[darren@ridetech.com]

It' s OK if it captures it a little short. As long as the ride height comes in right which it will be pretty close. Also sometimes we stretch the F9000 closer to 13" .

[baggedregal]

yea but im wanting the most out the bag as i can posible get, my car is a lowrider so i have to show up hydraulics.
