Looks real good. What are the specs on your wheels; width, offset/back spacing?

I know they are 24x10 but I'm not sure of the offset, Lexani made them off my vehicle information.

Ok, I imagine mine would look similar. Mine are 24x10 with +12 offset and 5.91 back spacing. I'm running 305/35/24s. I'd like to do these bags in the future. How do you have them plumbed for air?

I ran both bags to a t-fitting, from the T I go into my cab and connect to a single gauge with double needle's and switches(one side for back, other will be for the front.) There is another line that runs back to where my spare tire is and connect to my tank.

It was very esy to install and took maybe 6 hours for bags,tank,comp, gauge.

Does the rear sway bar prevent body roll enough? Seems like the bags sharing the same air would cause the pressure to fluctuate between the two while driving around corners.

It would be better to hook them separate, you can feel the air shift b bags going on or off the fwy but around town its not bad. I am always on pothole patrol so I drive slow.
