    Progress pictures:

    What ended up happening was the bag when ran at low pressure or deflated was rubbing on the upper part of the spring perch in front of the shock mount.

    You end up with this: (this isn't the blown through bag either. They were both starting to wear through)


    So what I did was took a hammer to the spot that was normally a straight piece up to the trailing arm and hammered it back some to retain most of it's strength as opposed to cutting the piece out and having a sharp edge near the bag. I also slid the bag over in the spring perch as close as possible to the inside of the vehicle to pull it forward and away from that spot it wore through. Here's some pictures cause words arent as fun


    As you can see the piece behind the bag used to come straight down into the cup, now it's slightly curved to give clearance for the bag




    Thanks again to AAC!!

    Kevin is top notch and has been doing this for a long time. All my parts have came from him and always will. Plus we always end up talking way too long on the phone
