Air Ride & Bilsteins installed

[lilfroger]

I've been grumbing for some time now that my shocks were shot. It's been on the to do list. We also wanted to add air bags to the rear for when we are towing though. So it's taken a bit to get everything together to get all 4 shocks and the rear bags.

But alas

they arrived last week.

It's been pissing rain for the last week so they just kinda hung out for a while.

Today I had to go downtown so I took the Dakota (easier to stuff into the parking garage ) so hubby was home all day alone w/ the truck, the parts, and a dry day

Rear now fitted with Bilstein HD and Air Ride bags

Front now fitted with Bilstein HD shocks

No DIY cause I wasn't around to snap the pictures and all ... so just use your imagination

I know this sounds terrible ... but ... I can't wait to drive to work tomorrow and feel the difference

We will be pulling the toy hauler again in Feb ... last time 4 guys went w/ 4 quads for 4 days. This time 8 folks are going with 6/quads for 5 days. Rolled the scales at something ridicules like 26k (truck, trailer & gear). So ANY help will be appreciated for this next run to the dunes.

Yeah Man, Give us a mini review after a few hundred miles or so and definitely on the air bags I am debating on getting those or super spring helpers
