Air Bag and compressor delete

[Sierra3]

I know, i know, It kills the Mark VIII highway setting, but mine is so far from stock now that it wont matter anyways. Also i got sick of hearing the compressor go on and off every time i did a burnout or stopped fast at a stoplight.
But ive been wanting to convert to springs for a while now. Its actually adding weight to the front end even after the delete of compressor and mounting bracket. But i saved more than the add in other areas...I bought a set of monroe shocks with the order from Eddie cause mine were rattling bad.
I'll put my somewhat new functional air bag set with solenoids and compressor up on the auction site soon as a complete set for less than new price. http://]

Ohh yeah, thats a vacuum pump to assist the brake booster. I had a really hard time getting pressure last time after a burnout at idle comming to a stop at the christmas tree, at SSH6 and it will be even worse now with the supercharger. I'll mount the pump where the battery used to live. Its automatic vacuum sensing on and off rates once its set to desured vac.

Converted mine a few weeks ago, glad I did it. Got the same kit you got.
I don't miss that compressor sound one bit......bbbbbbbrrrrrrzzzzzzzz. I hated that noise.
I still have to take off my sensors and cut that wire to kill the check air suspension message.
I wish I took pictures while I was doing it.

Now i know what U guys are talking about....

Now i know what U guys are talking about....

Lincoln factory shock mounts are junk engineered. All they needed to do was put a 1/2" hole or so in 1/4 plate steel instead of making thier own rubberized replaceable mount with sleeve bushing. All the new shocks come with new rubber anyways.
Now i cant even use the good rubber without cutting down the lincoln bushing and melting the rubber out. Look in the pics. All thats needed is a whole the size of the 90 degree inner lips of the new rubber bushings that come with the shocks. Then you could toss out the Lincoln mount and use the brand new rubber bushings and covers. Ohh well....
In my opinion, Lincoln over engineered and failed at thier shock mount. All you need is a correct sized plate with the bolts tac welded onto the bottom like the factory one.
