Laid out and installed all of my Air Ride wiring last night. I bet I'll have 100 lbs of wire in the car it seems when all of the accy stuff is done.

Obviously electrical accessories are made to fit many different install methods with different wire lengths. Is there any downside to shortening some of these harnesses via cut/solder/heat shrink, where the wire is your standard auto multi-conductor type wiring where a 3 lead connector for example is 3 separate wires vs an integrated cable?

Seems like I remember from my LT1 days it was a big no-no to do that on engine sensor harnesses (MAF extension was the typical thing people wanted to do), is there any kind of rule-of-thumb in general to follow here?

Thanks,
Charlie
