Nice Cody :thumbs:

What's the difference between these and the Firestone Ride-Rite setup that's rated for 5,000lbs?

the equivalent fire stone would be the sport rites, which are the same thing just a different brand, air lift or Firestone doesn't make anything bigger for my truck

Did they lift the rear at all when the truck is unloaded and you put more air in them. I want to get some for my truck but was wondering if I could use them to lift the back end of my truck up 1" or so...Plus I want them to help when Im hauling the trailer and quad. Not to thread jack or anything was just wondering if you noticed anything. They look good nice and clean install

yes it will lift the rear of the truck, with 20 psi it lifted it about 1/2", so if i put 100 it would probably be a full inch

I ran my lines to my gas door. I'm not drilling holes in anything that is metal.

:pimp: I have an Air-Lift brochure on my desk that teases me every so often. I don't tow enough to justify it, but I may do it anyway!

its not just about the towing, it could help you in autocross to....but I guess it would make the ride a little smoother as well

I have the Ride Rite's in my truck, and if there is air in them and no load in the bed, you better hold on because if you hit anything rough like railroad tracks, it will make the rear end jump all over the place...at least thats how it feels in my truck.
