2008 Slammed Jeep Patriot

[Creation]

We ran into all kinds of problems like that with the Forte when we bagged it. Downfalls of doing something new! Unfortunately you'll just have to keep driving and fix things as they break or make enough commotion for you to notice them. Looks like you're headed in the right direction though! I would strongly suggest checking the condition of your bags every night when you park. It's never fun having a bag pop while you're driving.

Pretty much how it's going. Everything can be worked out, just need to figure out what's going on.

I'm also needing to figure out another way to run my air lines for the front but I may need tubs here soon so they'll have to get changed anyways.

I've used fuel line clips on a few cars to keep them tucked up against the bottom of the car. Works perfect.

All my air lines are inside the car under the plastics, my leaderline are what keep getting caught in my wheel wells when I go full lock.

Judging by this picture can you see a way to get the car lower? The rears are threaded down all the way and fronts I believe are close and I'd still like to get 2 more inches all around.

interesting. I've wanted a jeep for NY winters . . putting it on bags is the right way!

I see wider tires/wheels in your future

I see 19x10 and 19x11 in my future with a real nice stretch. I need to fix a few things first.

Lose all the unneeded rings first off. And can you not flip the bags over on the coils to get your airlines up top for better clearance?

They won't bolt up that way unfortunately because they have to sit flush with the plate. And the I think the struts are spun down to max, so removing the rings would do me any good.

And just an idea... If you're ever interested, I can build you some struts that will let you lay out flat. I've done quite a few different applications from scratch and I'd be glad to take a swing at this thing. PM if you ever want to try that.

That's definitely an option. I'll shoot you a PM later tonight.

Found out that my rear coilovers were completely mangled this week somehow.

This should be a fun fix if I can even get the parts.

[Creation]

BC told me 4 weeks to get the replacement parts I need. Needless to say I'm finding another company to make me a set of coilovers.

While I figure out how to make to Atlanta this weekend with a blown up rear suspension, enjoy these.

Airlift universal struts. Won't be adjustable like a coilover, but if they're built right the first time you won't have to worry about it.

I don't have the tools needed to do the struts, and after my past few experiences with the local shops I don't trust any of them to do the work so I'm not really sure where to turn.

Also, this is my only vehicle so downtime is a real struggle to deal with.

that sucks about your coils man but that thing looks on point!
