Bagged out back w/ a combination of the ART kit and a McGaughey's 5" kit minus springs. I trimmed the cups after this pic was taken, so she rides about 1/2" lower out back now. After seeing what comes in the ART kit, I would just build it myself. Matter of fact, I am in the process of doing just that for a buddy's Tahoe...

Thats EXACTLY why I like it.
i run 1/4 inch air lines and i can lift/drop quickly
it works better because the bigger air lines kink when coming out of the cups and then its hard to put air in/out of the bags
1/4 inch fittings are also smaller/shorter, so they let you run a shorter cup
and make sure you get compressoin fittings not push on style

((crackles knuckles))
Taking off the sway bar allows you to sit lower because there are panhard clearance issues if you are running stock suspension.
Djm sells a sway relocator that works well if you are doing less than a -7 drop
running a 4 link allows the suspension to be custom built so you can set travel, and you will need it to sink the truck once you get so low that the stock springs mounts are too close together and you start sitting on the collapsed bag, also it is a panhard free system so the is no left to right travel when the truck raises and lowers.
the trailing relocators drop the trailing arms so they clean the frame on the front end better and allow you to get the drop you want. it also (or so im told) adjust pinion angle slightly to bring driveshaft angle closer to stock.
so if any of you have removed the sway bar, what can you say??
does it ride like ****?
im not sure if i know what its for but my understanding is that a sway bar keeps the truck from rolling on turns.
my sway bar almost hits the panhard but not yet so im considering taking it off
thanks,
alex
