Not bad all except for that ampwire runing across your motor :eek1:

also i take it you have that sub fastened somehow. :dunno: Otherwise that trunk latch could do a number. ask me how i know :doah:

EDIT: Just noticed something else. sorry i'm so crytical. Is that a water hose in place of your heater hose??

my wiring is a little overkill but its needed on these kind of installs ....

i plan on bagging mine.
i would think twice before bagging .......... there a heavy car and you will need to have 175+ all the time in the tank just to lift .... just juice it and run a lower voltage like 36 or 48 volts 3-4 batts and you will be happier just use accumulators in the rear or it will ride like a regular low low with juice

oh, i've researched it quite a bit, bags are definately the way to go.

airbags ride far better than hydraulics, even with accumulators.
airbags can handle over 80,000lbs (think semi trucks, fully loaded) weight is not an issue.
airbag suspensions cause far less stress on chassis components, as well as much less general wear and tear on the entire vehicle.
not to mention, the an airbag suspension will just replace factory components and can be brought back to stock at any time.

i will use a system from airridetechnologies.com

i'm sure your set up is a lot of fun, i had a similar 2 pump set-up that i played with until the vehicle basically dissasembled itself. i wouldn't do hydros again, so i figured i'll try the bags this time.

well good luck with those bags a few of my club members have them and its nothing but trouble from them .... however juice installed correctly is a whole lot less issues... notice i said installed correctly ..
