Sorry for all the questions, getting ready to do mine soon and want all the info!
No problem on the questions I like talking about car and trucks.....The front is air ride tech. kit, as far as the back goes I bought Ekstensive Metalworks 2 link setup (My truck is a GMC and had rear leaf springs) I didn't go with the big step notch I just enlarged the normal step notch and boxed in the back side of the frame for support. Add another support from across each frame rail for strength. I am going to mount the tanks and compressors and valves in the bed, under my bedcover. I bought all of the air management parts from Air Ride Tech. (Great products.)

Re: Air Ride on my truck!!!!
Wow, that is odd, two trucks with an identical paint scheme... do you two know each other or live near one another?

Both trucks are badass!!

FastTom, is that the Copperhead color, do you have the paint code?

Re: Air Ride on my truck!!!!
What kind of drop did you have on the truck before you put the air system on it? Also what brand are your wheels? I have been having problems getting the center caps from the centerlines that I just bought to fit over the front hub. Any advice? Thanks. Your truck and blazer look great.

If I had to guess, I would assume a 4.5/6" drop.
