Seriously? You do know that with the air assist bags up front it would ride insanely rough. The only way it MIGHT ride halfway decent is with a large V plow on it. Aside from that the air assist bags like the Firestones don't lift the vehicle, they only combat compression by adding spring rate, nothing more.


By far the best kit on the market is the DR racing mini spring packs. I've ridden in a truck that had them and it does ride very nice. Total install time is a couple hours. I've never been impressed with any of tough country's stuff.

Don't know about air bags...but, I bought a '73 Jeep CJ5 with adjustable air shocks...they had to be filled to the max to clear the 32X12.5 tires - that thing rode like a Hot Wheels - like the Jeep had no shock 'absorbers', but rather a rod welded to the frame

Do you think if I got that leveling kit and got the nitro filled shocks it would be a good replacement of my edelbrock shocks.
