to be honest sam information on air ride is freely available, but how I have made my rear brackets was my own design that I would not want people to mimic and find that it is unreliable, im no engineer by any means. However I would happily talk somsone through the principle behind how it works as really its not that hard
If you are genuinely interested Pm me

Okay so just to help anyone along who may consider air ride, what all is required:
front struts
rear bags - £80-100
compressor - £150
2 electronic or paddle valves - £50
3 switches, wires and relay - £50?
air line- £30
fabrication of rear brackets - £10-??? depends if you can weld yourself
thats pretty much it for a simple 2 way set up
