Re: CoolRide system
The ART stuff is quality, but isn't designed to offer a LOW ride height or deflated height. It's designed to get the truck as low as possible with-out cutting factory sheet-metal. Can you post up a pic of what you would like your truck to sit like. Then we can offer some better input.
The speed of the system will vary on valve diameter, line diameter, and compressor CFM.

Re: CoolRide system
This is the ride height I am looking for, but I don't want the wheels to be that wide in the back. This guy says he has ART system, but don't know what kind and he raised his bed floor. Thats all I know about the truck.

Re: CoolRide system
That pic is of the truck fully deflated. I am unsure which kit it has, but the ART stuff will set about the same. If you want that for ride height you will need to either "Z" the frame up front, or run a Dropmember. Out back you will need a larger than "bolt-in" style notch.

Re: CoolRide system
Getting a RIDE height of something like that, you will need to like Nathan said above me, but you will also have to mod your inner fenders depending on wheel size. You will also be on the ground deflated, unless you dont want to cut the truck up, you'll lay on your inner wheel wells (which looks like that truck is), so your ride height will be a little taller, but wont be going over many bump without bottoming out. If you do mod the inners and get the down lower, your be at a good psi in the bag along with a good portion of the stroke on the shock, which will yield the best ride, but also no inners or modded inners at that height, will allow the tire to go into the fender over bumps instead of bottoming out.
