ahh I see said the blind man to his deaf wife while peeing into the wind,"it's all coming back to me now."

anyways nice set up only thing I would change about it is to have a on board compressor, however I would leave the part to fill the tank with a compressor so that if the compressor stops working I can use that and also so I can use some air tools or fill the tires on my trailer with air while I am at the ranch

x2 to **Pat**.

The rear block installed during a suspension lift doesn't change the distance between the leaf spring and the frame so the kit installs the same whether you have a lift or not.

Yep for your model.

It's different for 04-08 model though.

I'm tired of my aal and airbag would be the solution, but i don't want to lose to much flex at the rear.

Did you see any difference in off-road performance with you airbag on?

If so, is it comparable to adding an aal? (In flex lost)

That was just a spare air bubble that I had laying around.

If you buy one that's made for a onboard setup they are a longer and skinnier.

yeah I about went that route but I figured that since I had plenty of room under the truck I may as well use it.

NO!!!! They are proud as hell of those things too!

I think the dual controller was around $180 and the other guage was about $60 or so.

WOW! I liked it more before you told me that. Looks good though and looks like it handles that load pretty well.

Nice setup!

I think your exterior is cleaner than your interior.
