Finishing up the installation of the Air Ride Shockwave units
by Frank Colgoni
 
 

More on our Air Ride Setup
In article 14, we were mocking-up our Shockwave units. In the photos below, you'll see how the finished installation looks i
n the installed kicked-up crossmember.

 
 


More detail of the Shockwave unit and the support gusset for the crossmember.
 



The Shockwave does take up more room than a coilover but not a lot more.
Air Ride provides the specification for the correct angle.

 


Here you can see that a coilover spacer couldn't be used because of the extra width
of the Shockwave body. A custom standoff was fabricated to handle the situation.
 



Both units in place. A Horton sway bar kit will be added next to
complete the rear suspension.
