I have a 2008 Mastiff and i want to eliminate the fender gap and improve the ride with an air suspension. Can anyone recommend an air ride suspension that will do both. I hear good things about the SAS air ride system, What others have been used and where can i get em? Thanks!.....:flag:

Have you tried adjusting your shocks? It may make your ride a little more stiff but that's an option.

There's some members that have tried legend air ride systems, also can try this company 2000-2009 Softail® Rear Air Suspension System (Black Anodize) Harley-Davidson® Motorcycles Arnott Air Suspension Systems . As a last resort try Shovelheadkicker on Ebay, I've seen him sale several for our dogs on there. Hope this helps...:2thumbs:

We have been handling the Arnott Product for a couple of years now. Great product, have a set on my Prosport as a matter of fact, but will not fit BDM's unless you have an older model like the Prosport, Husky, etc. With external shocks.

If you decide to go Legend, which will work, let me know and I will help you out with forum pricing.

If you go this route, be advised he is piecing together systems that may or may not just fit together. That is to say, compressor may have mis-matched air fitting from the release solenoid provided as mine did. You may also need air line fitting adapters for the air line to shock as I did. Release solenoid may need spliced in vs plug-n-play, non of this is a big problem but is nice to know what you are getting for money.
Anyway, I would recommend the threaded/AN -3 (45 flare) air line over the push-n-lock solenoid that BGM was pushing in the past however.

If you're asking about mine(?), yes, I've done it. I had a BDM installed kit presumably on mine (it leaked with the push n lock air line); my compressor went out. So I picked up a kit from Shovelheadkicker (ebay) for like 430. bucks which included compressor, shocks, release solenoid and air line. Seems to work fine so far; I just had to get proper fittings for the lines and solenoid and splice in the solenoid wires all of which was easy to do imo.

Sponsor above has its benefits too imo.

Can or are you able to install yourself? Let us know how we can help..its pretty straight forward.
