Air ride almost done!
Well, it took a few rookies with no experience and four days (two weekends) to complete the rivet removal, fabrication ETC for the rear end. The drop spindles are installed in the front and both travel tanks have been unbolted from the bed (without a break!). Need to do the shocks and bags up front still. None of us had welded, plasma cut or have tackled such an adventure. Many thanks to the direct messages and all the threads and knowledge here. Air management setup is next, we'll see how long that takes.

Re: Air ride almost done!
You need to get those shocks straightened out while your at it. Whole lot easier now than after the bed is reinstalled. You want them straight up and down are as close as you can get them. Right now they are just along for the ride they want do anything at that kind of angle except roll with the flow of the truck.

 The axle location is stock and you can see the hole we didn't use for stock upper location because the bolts on the C-notch were in the way for the original spot. so we used one and drilled over to the next spot.
