Air ride setup pics

My original thread is already closed and I never got to add additional pics of my setup. I swapped out the short bar setup for some longer bars. Was swapping beds and snapped some shots.

It ride way better than any of the other trucks I have ever owned. The real difference is when I am towing a trailer that has a lot of tongue with the bags aired up it's great. The best part is when you have to unhook a trailer that's real heavy you can just drop the jack and the lower the truck the rest of the way without having to use the crank handle. Or loading the bed with heavy objects it comes down over four inches to make it easier.

In the event of a bag of hose failure I have a 2 spacer that lowers the factory bump stops.

I don't know the partnumber to the air bags. I know that they are mad eby goodyear and are used on semis. I did use the factory spring mount for the upper bar. I can get you measurements of the bars this weekned. The truck can go down 4 inches from ride height or up 4 inches. That's based on measuring the rear bumper.

The bag looks like a bag off of a Kenworth 8 bag suspension if that helps anyone. They are shorter than most others, but the same diameter.
