I dont have your info, but you do know they are giving it away free with a purchase of 4 R9000's now? I bought my 9000's 2 months ago... it kinda pisses my off!! I do love the 9000's though

I cant imagine the install being very hard. Just time consuming to run an airline to each shock Good luck!

Sethgun,
Our new Myride is similar to the old generation RCX without the gauges in the cab. To install it, you will install the receiver / manifold under the hood and run air lines to each shock. The kit comes with a compressor that can be mounted next to the manifold and you should be ready to go. It is a simple install with all push-to-connect fittings, but it is time consuming to properly route airlines to each shock. Our PDF should be available on our website later this week.
Feel free to shoot a PM if you need any help.
Rancho

does it matter if, from the t-pieces that split up the airlines, that the airlines are different lengths, or do they have to be equal length going from the t piece to each shock? Reason being, im cable tieing the airlines to my hard brakelines running underneath on my left side so obviously from the t-piece, the airline to the rear left shock will be alot shorter than the airline from the t-piece to the rear right shock. Will this affect it at all, or do i need to mount the t-piece in the centre of the rear in the back (behind my exhaust) and then run equal lengths to each rear shock? Same thing for the front as well I guess.

Cheers.

air lines can be different lenths, no problem. just watch out on what they might rub on. you may want to slip rubber hosing over areas were the airline may rub. keep it simple, easier to track down leaks

yeah I was going to run plastic conduit over the entire length just to keep it contacting anything else, cheers. So, It wont matter if 1 line from the tipiece is say, 1 metre, and the other line from the t piece is like 3 meters?

Default Air leak with Rancho 9000XL shocks w/ Myride wireless system

So Ive installed my black diamond lift, rancho 9000xl shocks all around as well as the rancho wireless air control for the shocks. Run all the airlines to all shocks, hooked up everything and get it working. Pressures seem fine...all airlines were dipped in oil and then clicked into the 90deg connectors. Now, i keep getting a leak in my driver side front shock whenevr i put the setting above 6 or 7. If i go to 8 or 9, the compressor is pumping and i can hear a hissing from the fitting of the shock. i put some grease over it, and it sprays out slightly from the opening where the airline is pushed in. Ive changed the fitting over with a new gasket, and a new fitting, and recut the lines...still the same.

is it a problem with the shock? Im guessing it has to be, as its only this shock and only at high pressure settings. I also notice that on a preset like highway (6F 3R) every 12 seconds or so, the compressor comes on, like its picking up a drop in pressure from the front lines. It doesnt flash on the display, but it keeps doing this. Surely its not right for it to be rechecking the pressureso often? it sounds annoying and even when i turn the car off, its still going so i now usually have to set it to 1 or 0 all round when i park my car (so the compressor doesnt keep going on/off while im gone)\

Anyone with opinions? its like its trying to pump too much pressure into it, and its just leaking out the nozzle because theres too much pressure? I dunno
