I have the Arnott Bilstein's now and am thinking about swapping to the Monroe's. Anyone who has done this please give me a ride quality comparison between the two. I am seeing that the Monroe's go lower that the Arnott's, is this correct? Aired out I'm looking to put the ass end closer to the ground but still be able to ride high enough once aired up not to scrape my bags. Thanks for your help

If you use the one Arnott has u can adjust on the fly with your thumb, instead if having to reach down to the console, and Custom dynamics has it cheaper

Yes it is and momentary as well.

now that at last answers what I was wanting to know. Not sure how convenient it will be on the fly though.

that's the set up I ended up getting, not what I wanted but all I could get
All fitted up no real issues except NO little collars in the fittings on the shocks. Could they be down inside the shock???

Used one from the solenoid as a test fit and they don't seem to lock in place, After tightening you can still push the hose further into the shock. Just doesn't seem right.
Going to try to find some the same as the OEM fittings tomorrow

Easy reach. I've adjusted many times on the fly.

my new numbers

1 up = 85 psi
2 up = 100 psi
4 up = 115psi (care to know?)

Same numbers here Paul .. If the road conditions get bad, all I need to do is press a button & wa-la, quick adjustment for conformability. Great mod..

Is anyone using a "needle" vavle on your dump for more control during lowering on the fly. If so where did you get it? And could we see a picture of it. I would just like a little more control over the amount dumped while riding. I am using 1/8 line, but with two of us seems to dump too fast....help?

What he said! That's funny.


But on a serious note, I'm not sure what a needle valve looks like too.

Depending in the dump valve your running you should be able to "retard" the exhaust via a thumb screw.........the more you screw it in the slower it releases air

That's my $.02

The Man has spoken.. I learn something everyday.

Sic, Does that screw you mention comes with a particular type/brand solenoid valve?

I used this one... Push to Connect Inline/Inflow Speed Control Fitting 1/4" OD by MettleAir: Amazon.com: Industrial & Scientific

 

[Q-Hog]

Smokin, do you just connect that to the line before it goes to the dump valve?

I did. Here's a diagram for basic setup.

 

[Q-Hog]

Ok.. Thx . Just before the dump valve.. Out set up is similar except I'm running 1/8 OD lines.

are you worried about heat or using metal tubing?
