Good eye. The tread design throws me off. As long as they are asymmetrical then you're good as stated.

oh yea we've been re-running brake lines and moved the battery box, takin the ac out (not sure if i'm gonna keep the heat or not). i'm goin out to buy some fittings and water traps today and mockin up the air lines here in a lil bit

dontxtrust · 10-08-2009, 05:23 PM

good deal, i just went out to work on mine and i was movin the frame around and i dropped it on my finger... i think its broke and i might need stitches

nonsense! S10forum will heal it. Get back to working on your truck!

Serious note, get it checked out. The last guy that posted he got a cut in the off topic section didnt go to the doctors and the following couple days it got infected with red lines running up his arm!

eww lol i just got back from the docs...

Booger8993 · 10-08-2009, 07:50 PM

what'd the doc say?

dontxtrust · 10-08-2009, 07:58 PM

i got lucky, no break and dont need stitches... i waited a couple hours before i went in and he said it healed enough on its own, its bruised really bad and super swollen, oh well, ill let it heal tonight n work tomorrow

dontxtrust · 10-08-2009, 07:59 PM

its in a splint too, doc said not to move it for a week cuz i could have a weak spot in the bone and movement could snap it easily, but oh well lol

Booger8993 · 10-08-2009, 09:28 PM

hell yea least ya got lucky. lil work never hurt anythin lol. oh i got the truck up on its own today. put a couple of fittings and valves my buddy had on her and used the compressor in the garage. only filled on about 100 psi tho

dontxtrust · 10-08-2009, 09:31 PM

nice! oh man the first time i played with my ass end i sat in my garage for like 3 hours just playin with it lmao!! but i only used around 30-40 psi cuz it just the frame

dontxtrust · 10-08-2009, 09:34 PM

how do u like the 5 link? how much lift do u get?

dontxtrust · 10-08-2009, 09:36 PM

lol and a stupid lil question, why project cookie cutter? lol

Booger8993 · 10-08-2009, 09:50 PM

technically i'm not sure how much lift cause i forgot to measure it laid out, but at lift the top of the c-notch was at 33in and the top of the frame was at 24in i think... i'll go out tomorrow and measure for sure

but "the cookie cutter" name came from my buddies... they all have mazdas and nissans bagged and they rag me all the time bout how the s10 is so easy to bag w/ all the new bolt-ons and stuff. so they always call it a cookie cutter sayin they jus stamp out bagged dimes and roll em off the assembly line. i come back sayin it aint my fault i got a hand-down and it aint my fault that people dont care to spend as much R&D on mazdas and nissans lol

but i'm lovin the 5 link. tomorrow i'm gonna go play w/ the rear some more takin pics and measuring lift and seeing how much articulation i can get out of it

haha yeh my buddy has a bagged ranger n he rips on me for having an s10 too, i think the highest i got mine was 26" off the ground, measuring from the frame, and i have a bag on bar setup also,

Booger8993 · 10-08-2009, 10:42 PM

hell yea thats some good lift dude. yea i couldn't quite get the bags fully inflated either so i'm thinkin i could get alot more lift out of em

Booger8993 · 10-09-2009, 02:58 AM

oh yeah, my dad found the stuff on my grille... it came from a company called JBM Motoring @ www.sporttrucking.com

hahaha thanks buddy

Booger8993 · 10-10-2009, 01:40 AM

called the guys i ordered my compressors from and they said everything should ship next week so hopefully they'll be in soon.

also called SD about my lowers and he said they're like 15 sets of control arms behind lol DAMN. but mine should ship out sometime next week also.

things are coming together slowly but surely. jus needin opinions tho... i'm running 1/2" line with 1/2" fittings on the bags but i dont want the dump and fill to be too fast... will 3/8" valves slow it down enough or would it still be pretty quick since everything is still 1/2"?

dontxtrust · 10-10-2009, 01:49 AM

yeh sd has been behind on control arms for a while now... thats why im not orderin any lol, i kno what ur saying bout things comin together, i got my bed on today and the cabs goin on tomorrow!

Booger8993 · 10-10-2009, 02:39 PM

yeah hopefully everything will be here by next week. i'm kinda caught in a situation with my bed... this guy t-boned me in the bed bout a month ago and instead of sending that one to get worked on again (second time the bed's been hit) i'm wantin to jus find me another bed. i'm thinkin i'll cut this one up and jus use it as a scrap bed to experiment on then get another one to finally set everything up in.

ouch that doesnt look very nice lol

Booger8993 · 10-10-2009, 06:24 PM

yea i was ready to beat the wheels off the guy that hit me lol

tsayyote · 10-10-2009, 08:38 PM

i went half and half with my valves. i use 4 3/8's and 4 1/2's. I use 1/2's on the front fill, 3/8's on front dumps, then for the rear i went 3/8's fills and 1/2's dumps. All with 1/2 lines and fittings except where 3/8 reducers were needed at the valves. It is plenty fast, almost too fast to where its hard to make small adjustments in air pressure. I went this route and if i do pancake up/down, the entire truck lifts and lowers evenly. (kp 6-link, bags on bars)

With the weight of the engine in front i used 1/2's to supply more 'up' force and since the rear has practically no weight, 3/8's were plenty to lift it fast. Vice versa when you dump the truck. The weight of the engine will cuase the front to drop faster than the rear so i went 3/8's in the front to slow it down a little and 1/2 in the rear so it dropped at about the same rate as the front.

You can also use fill and dump controls from sd and you'll be able to fine tune your setup.

Booger8993 · 10-10-2009, 10:10 PM

right on. i like the adjustments... i've been thinkin bout doing that, but i'm kinda opposite of ya lol i want my stuff to be pretty slow and smooth on the dump. dont really care too much bout the fill but i want the dump to be slower. thanks tho alot of good ideas

tsayyote · 10-10-2009, 10:30 PM

No prob.

I'm gunna eventually replace all mine with 1/2" Danz and use the fill/dump controls instead.

Booger8993 · 10-11-2009, 01:08 AM

know anything about 3-way pneumatic valves? my g-pa sells industrial supplies and its like one valve w/ fill, dump and exhaust all in one... he said somethin bout using jus four of those. i'd never heard of em

tsayyote · 10-11-2009, 04:03 AM

I have no info on them. Have a link to the valve?

love the truck BTW

Booger8993 · 10-11-2009, 01:52 PM

thanks but yea i'm guessin thats similar to what he was talkin about. but i LIKE that manifold set-up. super clean lookin and alot less fittings to buy. thanks alot

tsayyote · 10-11-2009, 05:34 PM

theres also the air ride tech "big red" valve

http://www.ridetech.com/products/4_w...-962-2505.html

Booger8993 · 10-12-2009, 11:18 AM

i'm really thinkin about gettin that 4-pack of SD manifold valves. where exactly do you install those? i've seen some installed right off the bags and others have told me it doesn't matter...

Booger8993 · 10-12-2009, 05:41 PM

new update...

finally got my compressors and hardware in today

Booger8993 · 10-12-2009, 05:42 PM

gonna run some more lines and try to figure out exactly where everything is gonna go tonight. hopefully i'll have some more pics up

Huisurdady · 10-12-2009, 05:44 PM

I use 1/2's on the front fill, 3/8's on front dumps, then for the rear i went 3/8's fills and 1/2's dumps. All with 1/2 lines and fittings except where 3/8 reducers were needed at the valves. It is plenty fast, almost too fast to where its hard to make small adjustments in air pressure. I went this route and if i do pancake up/down, the entire truck lifts and lowers evenly. (kp 6-link, bags on bars) With the weight of the engine in front i used 1/2's to supply more 'up' force and since the rear has practically no weight, 3/8's were plenty to lift it fast. Vice versa when you dump the truck. The weight of the engine will cuase the front to drop faster than the rear so i went 3/8's in the front to slow it down a little and 1/2 in the rear so it dropped at about the same rate as the front. You can also use fill and dump controls from sd and you'll be able to fine tune your setup. Last edited by tsayyote : 10-10-2009 at 08:42 PM.
