Just wondering if you could post an update. I have these getting installed next week and was wondering how they worked on your trip. Also wondering if you have any pictures? I would like to see how you ran your air hose

Thanks for any information you have

Wouldn't you want to jack the frame to stretch the coils a bit to fit the bag through the springs ?

Sure, but the frame isnt straight like in previous years, it curves up right past the rear door. I would have almost have to jack at the back door, then put a jack stand right about where the curve almost starts.

Ok I just installed a set on sat, total time was less than an hour. Put a jack under the rear end and lifted truck. Put jackstands just at the back of the frame ( rt at the shock mount) took wheels of. Unmounted the sway bar bolts and lower shock bolt. Lowered jack untill springs came out. Installed the bags ran the plumbing and reasembled everything.

That's why I ended up taking mine out. Not to mention it makes it easier to run the lines and everything

I know my sig says I have them and actually I do have them but just not installed yet. I saw a set up on my buddies Ferd F350 the other day. He ran the valves so that they are now his rear license plate bolts. This is exactly what I am going to do it's a good way to make them disappear but be very accessible.
