An air shock will not support the same weight as an air bag not to mention air shocks put a lot stress onto the shock mounts that weren't designed bare any weight.

The 2007 dodge mega cab does have the 3/4 ton chassis 3" wide springs so you can put 3/4 ton springs on your truck but why? Alot of talk about air bag / timbrin blocks air shocks. All of these are band aids the timbrens and air bags go were the bump stop is. Last place the vehicle is suppose to touch. when you install these products it becomes the first place not a great idea there is a much better product on the market check it out not cheap you get what you pay for (Maxloader)

why put a 3/4 ton 4x4 suspension on a 1/2 ton truck....

some one offered up their suspension off a 3/4 ton 4x4 for $500

I would like to step up into my truck....

I dont want the truck to be the same height as the curb...

I just want it to look like a but don't want to pay for it
