'09 ford flex aka bagn tha wagn

[kiwee]

Been awhile but I'm back at it.
Back in november, for winter, I put my stock wheels on and failed to double check clearances.
Ended up blowing both front bags.
Out of haste, I stupidly ripped the system out and went back to static.
After looking at pics from last season I decided to regroup and re-install the system.
Big shouts to junior at Motorsport-tech for the hook up. Called him up and within 5 mins he had me setup with a pair of adapters to bring the stock wheels out by 20mm so they'd clear my bags.
I highly recommend these guys. Junior was VERY knowledgeable, friendly and quick.
I'm also redoing the trunk and going to a manifold setup.
Everything should be done in the next month.
Stay tuned...........

did some shopping today.
picked up a pipe bender, a flange tool, some 3/8" copper lines and some other goodies.
once i get the truck back i'm going to start hard lining the trunk.
i'll prolly go with aluminum vs. copper.

Few people have been asking how we got the fronts so low.........
It all started with standard suspension's r1 coil over kit.
Used their bottom collars and top hats with the airrex double bellow bag over struts.
The issue that existed was the bottom collars have a tapered portion and the airrex struts are 1 continuous diameter. We machines both the strut and the bottom collar so we could thread the bottom collar as low as possible into the spindle.
Here ard some pics of the machining we had to do to make it work;
