You got to love a white Westy

[aogrady]

Hi,

That looks good, and for free?! Worth a bit of work trying to get it to fit, ideal in the bellypan area.

Will be looking forward to your updates on this

Cheers!

That's a huge lift, the Monroe shocks don't come close to that!
Please tell me more
Thanks Waltz fae Scotland

Nice he the Gabriels are bigger and have a sleeve around the bag (so they don't expend but go up 8) and nice and protected for the elements).

Gabriel (left) versus Monroe (right)

Doing test at the moment, when i now they are really ok and good, I will share the part numbers

Kind regards from Holland, mycha

Hi Mycha,

I need to get some "air" in my life

Any chance you could let us know how the Gabrial are working?? oh and a part number would be good.

Hello Mycha looks very good!
I have the monro 824 airshocks, after mailing with you.
Looking at shocks for the rear also.
I see that you are going for the Gabriels...and the specs look good 7,5cm off travel..
Can't find them here, you ordered them in usa. Good service and were did you ordered them.
I think off putting the 824 on the rear and the Gabriels on the front.
Now i have only the pump and shocks....when fitting 4 i need tank and valves.

Love reading youre storries here..keep them comming...

Hello,

Yes ordered the Gabriels in the US, they are stronger than the Monroe's Ordered them through Amazon.com. When placing air-shocks all around a air-tank is a must is think.

I'm building my new set-up at the moment so updates with experience soon 8)

Lucky i'm not colorblind :lol:

 

[MetPeter]

He Mycha,

I've found my air-present in the bus ;-) Thnx for ordering!
Looking good . . . Did you wired the valves yourself? Next week I'm starting with the air setup for Lefty ;-) The new beam is almost ready!

Mycha why do you need 8 valves? Is it in/out for each shock? Also could you use just the pump for lifting and lowering either front or back.

Hey Darius,
8-valve set-up is indeed every corner in and out (I call it the deluxe version :lol: ).
It's possible to only use the pump and fittings to go up and with an inflation-valve or a manual-ball-valve to let the air out. When you do that place a check valve between compressor and shocks.
