Hi Mark,

I don't have any of the air ride parts you need, but when the time comes I'll buy all the spring suspension parts you take off.

I'm hoping that the spring suspension was put in the car professionally.

Thanks and let me know your thoughts,

I think the springs are bad. The coils touch each other in the front and the rear sags in the rear really bad. I do not see much use in them at all. Thank You.

Merk, there is just one leveling valve in the front, not two.
Ask Mastermind, he may have some parts. Be prepared to pay a lot...
