[Chevelle-list] Air Suspension

[Leo John Costigan]

When I put this system together ART didn't offer anything but analog controllers. Dakota was digital and the display fit nicely along side the radio.  Anything else would have to hang below the dash.

 

I give an opinion between the two but what I put together works for me and so far is reliable.  I guess that I have been lucky in piecing parts from different manufactures together and getting them to work.

  What's your honest opinion of the Dakota Digital controller? ART's digital controller is a POS.

    I have shockwave coil-overs on front and tapered bags on rear.  Installed a little over a year now and doing fine.

     

    For the front is used Air Rides kit with lower control arm and shockwave, before they started calling them 'Strong Arm'.

     

    I used upper control arms from Speedway Motors that are adjustable.

     

    The rears are the tapered bags that fit in the spring pockets.

     

    I used the Big Red control valves and controlled with Dakota Digital controller.  I also used their Instrument system for the dash gauges.

      You planning to run bags or Shockwave coilovers?

        Forgot to mention that I also used lower 'A' arms from shockwave set up from Air Ride Technology while installing air bags.
