probably when i park it for the winter, that way i can just chissle away at it and have it ready by spring.

Damn....******!!! How is the ride compared to springs?? I am on the fence, my rig rides so nice now I am afraid bags will be all squishy. I've never driven anything with bags before..............

You need to get your rear fenders rolled homie so you're not pinching like that when you let the air out.....

my fenders are rolled. i found i had a bent trailing arm so my one wheel is not clearing the fender as good as the other side. got a new one at the dealer for $50 so ill throw that on wednesday.

the ride is awesome. with 40psi its very comfortable, around 60 its firmer but still way smoother than the coils. you can definatly tell your riding on a rubber bag instead of a metal coil. still handles great in turns but over bumps its smooth as eggs. highly recommended mod. NOT SQUISHY, unless your running really low pressure. im running some shocks from pepboys some rancheros, they were the most expensive ones they had and i like em.

one side is hitting more than the other becuase the panhard is shifting the rear to one side. u might need to shorten the panhard so the axle is centered when layed out. its very common prob with panhard bars.

Looking good.... And yes I wouldn't think you would have one bent control arm. The pan hard par dose push the rear end over quite a bit, bout an 1" on mine fully aired out.

ok i see how the panhard can do that. how bad would it be to take it out??? i saw MOB took his out but he wasnt running the factory 4link. what to do ???

unrelated to the air ride i definatly got a bent lower control arm.

my setup was cheap for the rear. got the tank, compressor, valve block and line off a buddy for free! bought the bags some fittings pressure switch leader hose check valve top and bottom plates gauge and some other small odds and ends. a case of beer trade for some welding and garage space for 2 days. outta pocket about $300. when i do the front all ill need is 2 more bags and some brackets and thats fbss for around 500$. i highly recommend getting some shit for free!!!

It isn't really possible with the factory 4 link. Mob is using the factory lower links and reverse triangulated bars to keep the centered. The best thing to do is get a new panhard bar made. I would say 3/4-1" longer to help when aired out. But you will get the oposite at full lift, so you gotta find a happy medium.

how do the front wheels fold in like that? will it matter that i got my truck lowered already?..still confused about wheel offset tho. i found some u2-55 26s that came with 2 offsets +13 and +25. is this what i would need? 2 of each to help bring in the front wheels that stick out a bit further than the back? (1999 4x4)
