Hi Guys, I'm planning on tearing out my suspension and putting in a standard spring/shock/shockmount setup (aftermarket SL500). It seems straight forward except for the tandem pump - what do I do with the ADS lines? Do I run the inlet to the outlet, leave them unplugged.. something else? What I read seems to be 'new shocks, springs, done' but it seems like you would have to address this issue with the pump...

TIA for any insight.

Thats a tough one, My GUESS would be removing the pump and replacing it with a single pump. If you just LOOP the lines, the oil and the pump will overheat, and it won't live long with NO lube in it!!!

Thanks, I'd love to swap out the pump too (mine is leaking, hope this can be one more bird that gets got with this stone) but I'm not sure the Tandem pump mounts the same as the standard pump.... I know the reservoir location is waaaay different.

I'm starting to think the people that claim to have done this are fibbing...
