What kind of rear notch did you use? Any pic of that?

Looking great Doug. Your build thread is an awesome reference for bagging one of these trucks.

Looks GREAT - the wheels are awesome!

I really like the look of this truck. If you pumped up the bags to full height you would never guess it was bagged with how everything looks stock. I'm not a big fan of whitewalls, but I think in this case they would look great with the white bumper and the rest of the overall look of the truck.

thanks gang for the kind words! it's in no way as nice as most stepside on here, just an old beater that's fun to wrench on.

72gmcshorty,
there should be a decent pic of my "c" notch on my build thread. I'm running a CPP bolt-in notch right now. maybe down the road I'll go to a deeper notch, but....... I'm happy with the stance right now.

jacfourteen,
I'll get a pic of the truck tonight with the bags fully aired. remember, no laughing!!! :)

Wow Doug, that thing turned out better than I imagined... awesome work and attention to detail.

Can't wait to see the floor finished. :D

Going to KS G-G's again this year right? We'll be there, just at a higher altitude than you and the others. :lol:

was able to get a couple of aired out, ride, and fully aired up height. sorry for the bad pics, it was getting late and a storm was rolling in.

fully aired up. talk about ground clearance!

ride height. 2" up in the front, 2.5" in the back. no bottoming out, corners great.

aired completely out.

Man that looks good!

Air'd up looks to be close to stock height, and the ride height will keep it looking cool while going down the highway. Awesome work Doug!

looks great! did you use Ridetech's leveling system?

tcb-1 05-30-2010 09:07 PM

Re: Mission Accomplished, Air Ride Install Complete.
 
thanks a bunch, Nato. I certainly hope you'll be at GG this year. Keith and I had a great time last year.

maybe it's tim for a whel change? I am absolutely in love with your rollers!

Kid,
thank my man for the compliment. no, leveling system on board, just feel for it when I'm lifting off aired out bags.

tcb-1 your truck looks awesome but then again it always has. I could have sworn I saw a thread not too long ago wherein you were thinking about changing out those FJ wheels you're running to something else?

Very nice work, Doug. Can you do mine at the Truck Nats? :) You're a pro now so it shouldn't take all weekend. :lol: Looks awesome!

Jacfourteen 05-31-2010 12:27 PM

Re: Mission Accomplished, Air Ride Install Complete.
 
It isn't all that high when aired up, my 3/4 ton sat higher stock. But look on the bright side now you can avoid any obstacle in your way with the flip of a switch.

and I can detail the undercarriage! yep, I'm sick.
