New Shocks and Airbags installed
This weekend was rather productive.
I managed to get the Air Lift ride control air springs and compressor installed. While I was at it, I replaced the worn OEM shocks on all four corners with Monroe Reflex shocks. My Ram rides like a truck again. New gears going in next week. Towing should be much easier and safer after all of that. Now I need to start putting back a grand to get new tires....lol... I love my truck!

Are there any specific pics you are wanting?
It rained all day, so the airbags are already dirty(sorry). Compressor is mounted under rear seat on the drivers side. The guage is installed in a SRT-10 A-pillar. I ran all the main wiring connections and relay behind the radio for easy access. I used the pink/yellow wire on the switched power outlet (cigar lighter under the vent to the right of the steering wheel) for the main power and the orange and brown wire (variable radio illumination) for the light. The one major problem I ran into and required troubleshooting was the wiring diagram for the guage was incorrect in the instruction manual. It shows red wire as power and green wire as guage light. In reallity this was reversed. Someone must have wired the guage wrong from the factory. The power to the compressor and airline from the guage are run under the the driverside plastic floor/kickplate panels. The only hole I had to drill in the cab was through the metal gromet under the rear driver's side passenger seat for the airline going from the compressor to the T-fitting between the airbags.
