    Its Ok , just wedge a couple of cans of Carling beside the air bags and it will ride just fine.

    Just great mate. So nice to see someone tackling this kind of work on their todd and not shipping the job out to the big boys.
    Low enough to stop a roll away can of Carling from hiding under the van!

  17. Had to sit it out waiting on parts but should all be back together in next 7 days engine built back up and running and air system if I can get kids covered tomorrow will be up and running and aired up for the 1st time

    Got tank bolt in and compressor sat on rubber insulated rubber washers and sound deadened the back panel to dampen noise of compressed best as loads will carpet allso
    Allso levellers off air bags to suit my chosen ride height
    Tomorrow could be the day I get to see it working

    Get a video up when when you’re up and running!

    This build is tempting me to have a go at mine, as already got the rear notch’s in, (got the Subaru swap to finish first mind! :rolleyes:)

    I’ve got a shortened sump already for it, and think I’m down 2 splines already, current sump/ground clearance is about a Red Bull’s can worth!

    Not sure I want to go any lower, but looking at air as a way to raise it up when needed.
