Mission Accomplished, Air Ride Install Complete.
 

finalized the last portion of my air ride install last night. it's not laying frame, but it's where I wanted it. can't say how much this board and it's members helped me out with it..... but everyone knows that this forum has the most knowledgable, and friendliest members on the net.

I know how much you guys are pic hounds, so.......... oh and forgive the knocked-out-tooth look without the front bumper. it's out for a nice fresh coat of white powdercoat. goin' back to the basics.

It looks terrific....thats how i would like to see mine as I have no interest in cutting it all up....

Re: Mission Accomplished, Air Ride Install Complete.

Looks great....the height I want mine when it's completed.

Re: Mission Accomplished, Air Ride Install Complete.
 

Steve, these views are with the bags completely aired out. ride height is 2.5" higher in the front and 2" higher in the back. with the truck at that height, I am not bottoming out or rubbing. kind of glad I maintained the factory rake, with the rear being 1.5-2" higher than the front.

I need to get a pic of it fully aired up too. talk about a 4x4!!

Re: Mission Accomplished, Air Ride Install Complete.
 

That looks good Doug, Bring it out to Blue Springs next Sat. so I can see it in person.

Re: Mission Accomplished, Air Ride Install Complete.
 

Looks good Doug! I just went through and read the WHOLE build thread, you do nice, clean work. Just wiating to see some pics at ride height so I know about how low mine will sit... I'm going static - with coilovers!:metal:

Re: Mission Accomplished, Air Ride Install Complete.
 

Looks stellar! I was going to give you a heads up to tell you your front bumper fell off but then I read your post. Darn pictures are always more fun than reading! Nice job!

Good job, nice truck,hoping mine turns out as nice!!

Re: Mission Accomplished, Air Ride Install Complete.
 

So,... is everything done?
I thought you had a little more work to do up front?
Or is that done?
What did you ever do about guages?

Re: Mission Accomplished, Air Ride Install Complete.
 

Keith,
I'm going to eventually run gauges for a 4 corners, but I'll probably wait on that. right now, the raising of the bed floor has been put to the top of the list.

the tubular control arms were a snap to install. in all, those brought the front down close to 3 full inches! now I'm having visions of a weld in super notch or a Porterbilt rear assembly. yeah I know, it doesn't end!

Re: Mission Accomplished, Air Ride Install Complete.
 

Sweet.
Now you gotta post an underhood shot to show off those arms.

Re: Mission Accomplished, Air Ride Install Complete.
 

still have the inner fenders in, you won't be seeing much! and I never thought to take pics when I was installing them.

Re: Mission Accomplished, Air Ride Install Complete.
 

Nice work!

Re: Mission Accomplished, Air Ride Install Complete.
 

bad ass! :metal:

Re: Mission Accomplished, Air Ride Install Complete.
 

Look's great Doug. Can't wait to see it with a poverty bumper.

Re: Mission Accomplished, Air Ride Install Complete.
 

turned out great, one day I hope to bag mine.
