now i had my struts turned down and it was making a fair bit of noise, i increased the dampening and kinda went away, now over every bump im getting some clunking noise,
any one have this issue or kinda know what it is?

try and tighten the bolts under the hood because I had the same issue for a day and than fixed it

[LiLbuddha]

i tried, did you use the new nyloc nuts or the old stock ones?
ill tighten though

[loweredtoy]

the stock ones

[LiLbuddha]

ok i might try switch back to the stock nuts

well i think i was basically thinking this was a minitruck like my 81 mazda and rolling to low, anyways i was rolling 55-60psi front and 60 in the back, lifted both up to 75psi and most of the front clunk went away still have a noise in the back though, so il be looking at that tomorrow up on the hoist

I'm not familiar with easy street, but whats the max inflation on these bags? 55-60psi on the UAS bag is nearly slammed.

[LiLbuddha]

basically i was rolling around with top of rubber around the bottom of fender, im getting full lock up at 110psi all around max is 150psi rating on bags

Thanks for the info. With the Dakota digital, my UAS bags are max out at about 170+-. I ride with the front at about 110 ish and 130 rears. At those numbers on mine, the fender gap is closed like how you ride yours.

i'm pretty sure ChargeRonDavins had a similar issue. I don't know if you fixed it but maybe PM him and ask.

Does the Easy Street front setup still use a center bolt for the strut? If so, that might be your culprit on being loose. Even if the upper bracket is tight, if the strut is not tight to that bracket, you will get a knock sound at lower psi but not at a higher psi.

well been talking with jeremy from easystreet, im getting new struts haha
but here is my next thing has anyone gone lower with this kit? or what needs to be done to go lower,
id love to have my car down another 2 inchs in reality even a inch

i ride with no less tghan 100 psi up front or i clunk my rear i can run at about 70 with out bottom the shock out..... but that is on a UAS system using factory suspension pieces..... i would definently run with more air and what i would say is look to see what factory height would be then ride around like that and see if it goes away

[gameover]

buddha- to lower the front more, you will have to knotch the front fenderwell. You will need to cut a section of where the A-arm makes contact. I believe one of UAS customer did that. I'm not too sure for the rear.

srt9- what is the max inflation you get out of your UAS bags? Are you using a dakota digital gauge? Riding 70 out back is pretty low. If I was to ride like that down here in these streets, my exhaust would be ripped off.

[eldiablosrt8]

i can get about 160 on my gauges.... 70 is my lowest rear and 100 lowest front.... dont get me wrong i ride 100 even at all times and got my alignment set for 100/100.....yes running dakota gauges
