Yeah its not a big deal to make sure they are inflated. I was just making sure that if I space it off one day I won't have to worry about it. LOL.

Plus if it cures the clanking, its like an added bonus. hahaha.

Sorry, didn't get to this today. I kinda spaced it off.

Had some issues at the shop today and that kinda made the day a lot longer. Turns out the shell we build for my sub box is not gonna work the way we wanted it to. So we are going a completely different route, but now we gotta start all over. Spent most of today trying to figure out a new design and forgot all about the bolt sizes.

I will do my best to remember tomorrow. Sorry once again.

There is a killer curb i hit everyday to get to a strip mall near by and i had my chev lowrider do the same thing... I gotta get em bolted as i hit this hump on an angle usualy doing 50k

The bolt is 3/8" by 5" long. You will need the bolt, washers and a nylon lock nut.

It would be quieter I guess. The compressors are on for about a minute anyways.

I am in the same boat. I would like mine to be more quiet. I orginally installed them straight to the spare tire well floor. You will quiet them down quite a bit by Fatmat or Dynamating the entire spare tire well. Another thing we are gonna do on my setup is to mount the compressors to a board wrapped in fatmat also. Then the new sub floor we are building will have fatmat on the underside of it as well. I am hoping that is enough to quiet them down alot. I will be running 6 compressors with the new setup, so its gonna be a fingers crossed situation. LOL.

thanks for help

We usually run the lines out to the front though the drain holes under the rear seats and for the back drill a hole for the rear valves.

5/16" x 5" long with washers and nylock nut.

Right below where the body folds over the cup from the wheel well area drill straight across through the cup and the little cone that comes down from the body and slide the bolt across there.

For the lowers a large washer and nut on the stud sticking out of the bottom cup.
