the issues you guys have on your trucks?? these trucks lean but i got mine to 3/16 off from side to side doing the pass side at 2.75 inches drivers at 3 inches. I also have the trailing arm relocators and swaybar endlink relocators.

My compressor only kicks on when i have a bunch of people in the back and truck sits at 34.75 front and 34 7/8 rear and pass side rear is at 35.

i can put 4 people in back truck airs up and i drop the people off truck comes down to where it is now.

I cut off rear bumpstop brackets if i go 3 or more inches im just wondering if your guys rear brackets are cut off the frame??

by setting the air ride links different, i would thing that would make the rear end act funny, like 1 side stiffer than the other, would handling be affected if i don't have all the extra goodies like you have? because i would love the rear to be more level it drives me insane. but It doesnt bug me enough to install $1500 worth of stuff. haha.

I just don't think I'm going to cut the brackets off, Tony. I'm not willing to do that (and to have something welded back on when I trade the truck in). So, I'm finding the best set up with the brackets still intact.

sidenote since late 99 when i started to hack the brackets off these trucks ive had many people trade the truck in no problems. also in rear have you cut the belltech bumpstop down for more travel?

Not yet. Need to do that. Can I do that by myself with a jack and hack saw? Or, do I need a lift to access the snubbers?

You only need a jack and hacksaw to cut the bumpstops. Put the jack on the frame then the bumpstops pop out by hand, cut with saw then reinstall. Extremely easy mod.

I cut them in half without even removing them. I may end up doing the full free travel mod. But, even just by cutting the bump stops it was a much softer ride in the rear. A notable difference for sure!
