engine driven compressor belt driven compressor same same by the way my stock compressor is a york not a sanden i got it hooked up last night and seems to do tha job needed check valve got it today and relocating tank gauge to cab and toggle switch to engage compressor tonight but at 150 psi lifts nice need to drill out line adapters on air shocks to get more flow tho and quicker fill and dump. also think i found air shocks for the front that collapse to 10.75 inches which would still tuck me front and back. need some electric valves tho.

well yes heres the deal i have the monroe part number for a shock that has the threaded stud top and loop bottom i believe there might have to be modification to the loop (remove metal insert) my part store is ordering them there are about 60.00 or so and like my rear i will drill out the air nipple to 1\4 for more flow. the shock that i found compress to 10.75 inches my measurement for the front would need a 11 inch or shorter shock and these are however the book shows them mounted with stud down loop at top rather than stock mazda is stud up loop down. i plan to try them and i cant imagine a problem with rever mounting a shock but will follow up after they are in. i have air shocks on back with relocated shock mounts and with 12 inch shock i tuck 2 inches of a 185 60 r14 and have about 1-1/4 inches of frame to ground in mid section to the back. i have done a few mazdas with air shocks.
