dodge magnum help?

anyways i just bought a 05 dodge magnum,already ordered my 20's, just going very simple,im looking at sd's kit, what other kits are out there that are decent?has anyone ever do one here? id like to hide most the air managementi also live in harsh winter climate, id like to keep this my dd carwhile i build my 56 buick, so could someone tell me a average time for R and R for just the bags?any help would be awesome

streetnshow.com has the exact same kit for $500 less. just depends if u want the autopilot digital controller or gauges/switches...

yeah i want just switches and do a digital guage display, i have a easy street digital controller in my caprice and ill never do it again,

Check http://www.lxforums.com/

Universal Air at http://www.universalairsuspension.com/ has a kit that's made specifically for the LX's.

Most people put the tank, compressors, vales in the trunk where the spare tire goes, run the gauges to either the a-pillar or ash tray.

I too would recommend UAS. If you register on LXforums you can get a forum discount which is nice.


I have a AVS switch box and I run a dakota digital gauge. If you use a dremel to open up the clock location the gauge drops in there very nicely.

has anyone on here run the streetnshow kit?
reason i want that is, we have harsh cold winters so i wanna switch it back out to springs in winter time, and the SD kit and streetnshow kits have struts in the kit, so no modifing of my stock struts,
but i have a sxt magnum and i dont have the clock you speak of, but looking at it i think im gonna do a digital guage in the overhead sunglass holder,

Best advice you can find is steve's board http://custommagnums.com/
Not all kits are not created equal. Hit up that board. I'm sure they can give you the pro's and cons of it. Steve's mag is bagged on 22's. In our club Gumby had the green and blue one. It was on farm equipment and super reliable.

I have personally used the Universal Air kit for the Magnum. It's a good kit and works well. I did one using the 5 gal. tank from the kit and a Oasis 2000 in the spare tire well. Did great. Also, I did ruin one stock strut while modifying them for the bags. I got a new one from the dealership for about $75.00. So I would just buy new stock struts, modify a set for the bags, and keep a stock set to switch back out.

We use the Universal Air kits. We've done around 6 LX's all with UAS kits. You can see pics at toomeycustoms.com/gallery/. I'd recommend getting a set of Koni struts from UAS or some eibachs. The ride is nicer and the rear will sit lower since the shock won't bottom out.

custommagnums, since youve done quite a few of these cars, and alot of chargers, is there an easy way to get teh UAS kits to sit lower on the chargers? ive been wanting to just go with hydraulics, but if i can get the air to sit lower than the normal bolt on without cutting the shit out of everything, then i would probably go for the UAS kit.

if that makes any sense? lol
