Looks great! Ive been looking into doing this. Now with a system like this. Are there any issues driving at stock height or lowered height. I love the look of the truck dropped while parked but I would want it to drive near stock height.

It's supposed to have 9" of lift. I don't think that I will ever get back to stock height mainly because of the drop spindles.

This is at about 150 psi up front. It'll go a couple of inches higher with more pressure.

I'm probably going to toss the 4-link since it would be a pain to sell modified. I will sell the airstruts though.

Not an update on the kr but pretty important... My wife is signing the papers for our new house tomorrow morning! We'll be moving to Lake Jackson When I get back from work in three weeks. I'm excited to get the truck back so that I'll be able to move everything and not sag lIke a bitch in the rear! I've been offshore since Wednesday so I haven't received any updates on it.

Yeah the ridetech controller and valves are remaining on the truck. I couldn't justify upgrading to accuair after all the money I've spent on the suspension.

The truck is out of the fabricators hands and was sent to the audio department for some work. I won't have any pics until Monday though

For the sound system I already bought the audio control interface that allows you to put amps on the factory system. I have the amps and door speakers out of my old f250 that are getting installed and a box is being built under the seat.

I have already lockpicked my navigation system and I have added a front camera under the license plate. the camera doesn't work so they are fixing that along with adding switches so I can one touch lower and raise the truck. The ridetech system requires 4 fingers to this.

Some of you may recall that I was having problems with my factory nav system cutting off on me. Well they are going to fix that too.
