Put the air bags in today. Went pretty smooth. I ended up having a air line for each bag come out right above the trailer hitch. I will say with 10psi in the bags I can feel a noticable difference in ride quality and I wish I did this a long time ago.
Nice.

Someday im gonna get rid of these old auto ride rear shocks and go that route for sure. but the bags are still working fine.

I'm really hoping that this is why this truck has always felt a little "loose" especially on the highway. I've been chasing that problem for awhile. Front shocks are new bilsteins. Tie rods, ucas, sway bar bushings and links, steering linkages are all new. Added a steering damper. Recent alignment.

Was starting to suspect the steering box. It's been adjusted and that helped some.

I'll +3 for timkin. I replaced both fronts when I did my drop spindles. Super easy since I didnt have to pull the stockers from the factory spindles. Just the bolts.

Drop is on. Replaced upper arms and lower ball joints. Beyond wore out. Inner and outer tie rods are a joke. Brakes are weak. Not sure which to replace first lol.

Looks great. I’d do tie rods first otherwise when you do hit the brakes hard your truck might be hard to steer.
