try uploading the pics to somewhere like photobucket, then use the img tags. so for example it would be : [img]link to your photo here[/img]

 

nvm, wrong post.

 

I got the Air Lift bags from Amazon.com on sale for $179, I also picked up a Recon tailgate Firelight for only $45 too. I took me about 3-4 hours total because it was kickin at 90 degrees outside. Believe it or not I had a set of Harbor Freight Titanium drill bit set I paid about $15 for them, had all the bit's I needed. I did go slow and started with a 1/4" bit then a 9/16 then the 5/16 for the self tapper. Then I used the 3/8 to finish it up, just go slow and use a lot of WD-40 and hold your drill steady and with both hands. Yeah I didn't hold it with both hands on the first pass with the 3/8th drill and it popped out of my hand and flipped all over the place, I'm ok and the drill is still alive and kickin.

When I placed the top bracket on the frame I was worried about the air line connector hitting that part of the frame/bed support so I took a crescent wrench and bent it up and out of the way. It ended up being a "non" factor on the install but I just didn't want to get it all in there and then it be a problem. I won't do this body mod to my SRT/10 if I ever get one that is. I'm going to clean and repaint the support bracket soon.

I did an air valve install into in to the back next to the license plate. There is this removable cover plate for a trailer hook up plug-in. There are four holes that only two are used by the cover plate. So I mounted the valves in two of them. They stick out about 1/2" but I made a bracket out of some aluminum stock as a deterrent to knocking the valves out.

I'm hoping to upload the rest of the pictures tonight. Next is the leveling kit.

 

i just purchased my airbags today from Traction in Canada here, came out to 606 bucks canadian for a set of firestone riderite 5000lb bags and the compressor system with single gauge, cant wait to get them on when the truck is back from getting the new motor!!

 

These are the Arnott suspension air bag I have

 

i just unpacked my bag helpers and i think u bought a not so great kit..... mine doesnt have any drilling required at all, u just remove the bump stop and the bag bolts onto there, and then one u-bolt around the axle, no drilling required. I think this kit is alot better maybe?

 

I have the Arnott Airbag system. Paid $225 shipped Mounts exatly where you stated. No drilling involved and some HD hardware. 5K lbs bags by Goodyear. However, i cannot use these bags with a lift(I prob. could fab up a block of somesort) Also, it lifted the back of my truck 3/4" from stock even with running the minimum 5lbs of pressure. At 40lbs my *** end jumps up about 1" more. 40lbs held all of about 1200lbs of Oak logs that I put in my bed with no problems.

 

Easy on, easy off, only problem is you cannot use them with a lift kit. I checked into it before buying my Air Lifts. Because of the way the the Air Lifts mount (I welded mine instead of drilling btw), you can still install either a suspension or body lift, or both...

Your kit is fine, just as long as you don't plan on a lift...

 

firestone has no drilling either.......
