TrakHamr: The Air Ride

Looks really good! Nice work TrakHamr

Wow Shane, that looks so much fun to ride. I'm sure with all you've gone through, getting your ride back home so you can enjoy all the upgrades, has been tough on you. Maybe some day you'll get the last pieces from the turbo guy that you've ben waiting for now for almost a year and a half.

Oh, Man! That's Purty!

( wokka - SS #4?)

chavey2 yeah, you should!

Summer will most likely be over before I see the rest of my parts, so 2 seasons lost for upgrades from him.

I can't say how sorry I am that you've been screwed over by this guy (NOT any vendor still on the forum). How he still gets orders is unbelievable

.

Thanks for the faith in us to complete this project as you had envisioned Shane.

This Sling truly stands out from the pack and draws a crowd everywhere we took it! Looking forward to your first ride impression.

How much work is it to go from the standard to the air ride?

This is something I may do in a year or two, not right now, but am curious as to the answer.

You know Troy doesn't post on here a lot, so if you text/email him, let us know the answer please.

Looks like I'll be keeping mine as is then. lol

Shane's right. Additional bracing was needed in the frame as well as moving the upper shock mounting point and machining a special adapter to the lower shock mount to accommodate not only the diameter of the air ride shock but to allow full travel when driving and full droop to the point of setting the sling literally On The Frame when parked. And Shane is also correct in that we designed it to allow you to move it while almost sitting on the ground. Not to say a standard kit couldn't be adapted but it will take some engineering time and possibly some custom air ride components. With Shane's we were matching the existing front system that was already in place. The whole air ride system on this Sling is quite impressive and EXTREMELY well done as is everything else on this car.

I got to see this SS last night in person. The Pics don't do it justice. It is just BE-YOU-TEA-FULL! Nice job everyone. I'm in lust! Great Job Shane850 & TrakHamr

Glad I could get the pics for you. Wasn't sure that I wanted to post where it was at (privacy and all that), but yeah, it looks great.

And BTW, Shout out to the LTN team. These guys take great pride in their work and it shows. Not that you can tell much from the pics, but they have 3 (or 4?) bays to do lights. These things were set up perfectly and the guys doing the install were top notch. Everything was clean, straight, organized. Notice in the top right of the rear pic in the background, there's little rolling tool cart. Every bay was set up like this and all of them were in the same exact spot in every bay. No trash around. You could have ate off the floor. In the front pic, hanging on the wall were pre-cut LED grills. And I believe that they use Zarate Steel Works Wheel Rings (look like the same design to me).

Thanks Chavey2! It was a pleasure to work on this Sling and Shane is awesome to partner with for it as well. Turned out as we had hoped and planned and I am excited for Shane to see it soon in person.

And completely agree in LTN. Class Act all the way and Vernon and his crew are second to None.
