Have you ridden it yet? How's the ride?

seemlezdesign · 07-01-2016, 02:37 PM

Rides nice I can adjust on the fly seems less stiff then stock. If I let to much air out the tire rubs thats the only negative.

Do you have part numbers on what you used?

seemlezdesign · 07-03-2016, 07:59 PM

What part numbers are you looking for?

I've put air ride on my vaquero also. If you use hijackers for a 68 beetle you won't have clearance issues when fully dropped. One word of warning, NEVER ride with all the air dropped out. It will bust your shocks.

The only thing I haven't figured out is a switch. I'm using the remote control fob. Any ideas on a bar mounted switch?
