Here are pics on how I ran my air lines to the drag link...
The zip ties only hold the lines together.
Be sure to leave enough slack for the lines to move back and forth with the drag link..
Also, the hole to pass the air supply line through the frame was already there on my truck....
Andy..
You might hold off on drilling any holes until you get to the point in the installation that you would use them. You may change your mind.
I didn’t drill the two holes in the fender to run the lines. It looked to me to be a good way to cause a failure in the line. I just ran it back past the...
I had the same problems with my diagrams.
I used the list of hardware that detailed what was in each package. I counted how many of the same part were in each to help identify them. Then you can use the process of elimination to figure it out.
You might try a trial run off the truck to help...
Thanks... I ended up trimming a little off the rubber bearing shields and using a floor jack to lift the cylinder to compress the one on top so I could slip the bottom one in.
The alcohol on the hose fitting helped too..
The shock still needs a bushing. I will probably see if I can drill it...
I’m in the middle of installing my kit and have run into 2 problems.
1. The bushing that is supposed to be installed on the shock absorber is too small to fit on my shock.
2. When installing the power cylinder, how do you get the rubber bearing shields to fit into the axel bracket with the...
Could you just add a second tank and connect the two tanks with a pipe from one tank to the other at the bottom so that when one tank was filled it would fill the other at the same rate/level and empty the same way. No need for additional wiring, pumps, etc..? Any problems with that..?
Andy..
Thanks for the confirmation...
I have a NOS air pack, a master cylinder and rebuild kits on the way.
I figured that I might as well replace the master cylinder while I’m under there and rebuild both as spares..
Thanks,

What is this part called. I couldn't find anything on it in the TM I have, just this diagram.. It's located next to the air cleaner on the firewall.
I think I have a break fluid leak through this vent.
Is my problem a seal in the air pack..?
Thanks,
C.g.
I appreciate the info and opinions...
I asked about the 3\8" line since I have access it some at a good price and I’m already setup with snatch blocks, etc for it... It's also easier to find the synthetic line in 3\8".
I really like the safety aspect of the synthetic line. I’m willing to pay...
