I contacted Daytona Air Suspension technical support. He’s very familiar with the Newell owner struggles and suggests that I replace the valve first. Easy to do when the winter temps improve here in NWA.
He and I did discuss the sway bar connect point and admitted it certainly isn’t ideal.
I explained another idea I had to relocate the HCV to the wheel well and use either the upper A arm as a control rod connection point or fabricate a bracket that would mount under the shock absorber lower mount. He mentioned shock absorber mounting are commonly used as a connector for the control rod.
One step at a time.
One thing is for sure, I will eventually re mount the six pack inside my left forward compartment.
