What did you do about the leaf springs? They are limiting me from going lower. I did take out the top leaf of the pack but it still is restricted by the leaf springs. Any info would be awesome!
I stayed with manual controls for a couple of reasons. There is already a lot crammed under the seat. A huge battery, air tank, compressor, voltage converter, charger and motor controller. Adding a solenoid block with sensors would have been tricky. Everything on the dash is meant for a SxS or boat, so it is all wet rated. Even though the cart is garage kept and rarely sees rain, it does get wet, so I'm not sure how a digital controller would fair in the elements.
If you have another lead on a front lowering kit please message me, buggy's won't let me post there for some reason. Trying to finish my project. Awesome cart btw.
I know you said you went to 1/4 inch lines, but I cant find where you said it. I thought you said a buddy drilled the shocks out. Is that right, or did you use adapters? Any info on that process you could give me would be great.
I had read that some people drilled and tapped the shocks, but they said you have to be real careful not to get metal shavings inside and that made me nervous. These are the adapters I bought. www.grainger.com/product/4VPT3?RIID=65372072335&GID&mid=OrderConfirmation&rfe=6b178d762837ea2c1debc731a357b20f241928b41476aa424f522db168c72ec4&gcrfe=6b178d762837ea2c1debc731a357b20f241928b41476aa424f522db168c72ec4&gucid=EMT%3A10339122%3AItem%3ACSM-323&emcid=NA%3AItem
Wild question. I'm thinking of going with the Vivair 485c Gen2 because it is 100% duty at 200 psi and a 3 gallon tank. Already have these same Monroe shocks. Do you think with that set up I would blow one of these shocks out?
It will definitely be possible since the bags are rated at 150PSI, but if you have gauges for the bags, then I wouldn't worry about it. Mine rides around 70-80PSI in the rear, so once I see that on the gauge I stop airing up. I don't think I have ever had more than 120PSI in my rears and that was to prevent sagging with a couple of heavy friends on the back.
I appreciate you making this video. I've been brainstorming for a while and will be going for it in the next weekend or so. With the shocks aired up for driving around, is the ride rough? or do the air shocks have a little give to them?
Very nice, short, sweet and to the point.

Nothing more than rotating them 180deg like I mentioned at ~35s into the video.
@@aberk20sorry I totally missed that part. I will give it a try. Appreciate the reply.
What air management system did you use? I don’t want to have to manually adjust the shocks every time I want to lower or raise it.

I assume that was you that posted on FB asking for a kit. The guy making them responded to you.
@@aberk20 it was, yea. Gonna grab a kit from him, on the pricey side but with them non existent gotta do what I gotta do
What is that guys FB ? I need one as well

@aberk20 , ok maybe I will scratch the 200 psi pump then and save a few bucks. Thanks man!
What type of air shocks did you use on the front? I'm trying to build my own lowered cart. Your cart made mevwant to build one.
These are Monroe MA705 air shocks
Where the shocks from
Shocks are Monroe MA705 air shocks
What size wheels an tires you running?
@@shaunswaney8229 12x6 with a 0 offset.
Where did you find the front disc brake parts ?
Search for Jakes disc brake kit and your model.
How much travel do you get?
I get 4" in the front and 5.25" in the rear.

They're designed for a much heavier vehicle, so it rides pretty rough.
When did air shocks become the same thing as airbars?
