Hi
I 'm thinking to put in my 04marauder a set of springs and shocks.
The air compressor or something don't works fine. Some times works another not. Due to that I'm thinking to lowered it a little bit. 1" front and 2" rear and to put a firmer shocks.
What do you think about and which parts should I put???
I don't like to much the air suspension, maybe I'll remove it.
Thank you so much

Best regards

I know most members here like their air suspension. However if you definitely want to do the conversion, here's a good option from Suncore:

you'll have to cut a coil to lower front and dont use a torch, since you are in Spain. KYB are shocks

If your MM's air bags are in good condition, I highly advise that you keep the air bags, compressor and other parts. If you ever sell it, the next MM owner may want the parts to convert it back.

The MMs are special cars and the parts are getting harder and harder to find.

I'll keep all the parts...never knows what happen in the future.
Thank you so much for the videos. Let me see them.
