Hard lines =/= easy to install, although i do plan on doing hard lines,
I also run 1/2" lines and valves

Hard lines are BAMF but I am too lazy.
I had hydros and hated them, too much work.
its not really hydros, it still bags, the hydros just act as the connection between the bag and the frame. you have a bag mechanically connected to a hydraulic cylinder which is connected to another hydraulic cylinder in a master slave arrangement mounted on the suspension which allows the bag to only operate in a linear motion, limiting stress on the bag
Not much to show but have all the old air management and rear seat out so ready to start wiring up the new system. I was hoping to have it completed next weekend but hit a deer in the GFs Impala so probably have to deal with that this week.
Not sure why these pics turned out so shitty but I will retake them later on.
Bracket with rubber isolators to help quiet down compressor vibration.
And everything mocked up on the bracket.

issed:Finally had some time to work on the car tonight and an extra set of hands I needed. Had to redesign the bracket since trying to bend 3/8 airline 180° was the dumbest idea ever, the powdercoater forgot to do the piece today so can't get everything bolted down... Anyways tank is bolted down, isolators are bolted through the floor, bulkheads bolted, and drain valve put into place. Going to try to get airlines ran tomorrow, luckily only the rear bags need new lines ran, write up the drain valve, and mount the relays. Hopefully Monday the mount will get powdered and the I can bolt it down as well as compressors and valve block bolted down then ruin the final lines.
Wiring and plumbing is all finished up, interior is almost back together and hopefully will get the sensors put on tomorrow so I can finally drive it again...
No real pictures other than this one of the switch I changed out, it had a big ugly toggle to turn on and off the compressor so put a nicer momentary switch for the tank drain.

Got the car off jack stands last night and have it calibrated in pressure monitoring mode, will do the height sensors later as I am sick of hearing "How much longer do you have on this?" and supposed to snow this weekend so gave up for this year. Raining today and tomorrow so going to get the wheels torqued down and clean up the garage from the install then drive it a little Wednesday and Thursday then get it situated for the winter 
. Once it warms up this spring I am going to try to finish up the sensors and redo the exhaust, also going to start saving for a trailer then wheels and tires, this will likely not be a fast things as we are also going to be looking pretty serious at new houses so with down payments, new furniture, and whatever else comes up it will take the money I have saved pretty fast but should have a trailer bought at least.
