Well I started putting the air ride system on the Black Widow the narrowed(2in) beam is on but had issues with the adjuster I welded them in wrong location would have been a great BAJA beam. I decided to pull the adjuster screws and let the leaves act like through rods with a little torisional effect but my new air shocks are not allowing it to go as low as I wanted. started at 6.5in to the bottom of the beam and now with shocks bottomed out its 4in which looks about where I want it to ride but the new shocks I ordered today will have about 3.5 in less bottomed out so it should lay out. I still have shocks for the rear on order will be taking at least 1 click if not 2 out of the rear. Going to run compressor only no tank, valves, guage, and switches should get here this week.

Are you planning to bag the rear as well? Can't wait to see the new stance.

the tank only makes it fill faster the compressor does the work and since I'm only using air shocks shouldn't take that long to air up. If I were using bags would need the tank for volumn.

well forgot to update this. air shocks had to add a tank still wasn't happy so ordered 4in narrowed dual air bag beam, custom built air bag rear control arms, going to add a second compressor. all my parts are here except the compressor and lines so once I get back from vacation gotta paint beam and arms then get everything installed should lay on the pan if it works out right. I will add some pics when I get started.
