Check out the front shockwave setup to. Very nice looking system.

I've got a question about airbag setups though. How do you know just how high or low you are going when you air it up or down? Are there presets you can adjust for different heights?

My buddy has an air pressure gauge inside the cab. He made little marks on the gauge for different ways to drive. He just aired it up and got out and saw how low he was, then adjusted for what he wanted to do. I think he has everyday driving and lowriding/cruising marked on his gauge. I'm not sure about presets, but that would be a nice custom feature.

I am running all Air Ride Technologies stuff except my 4 link which was fabbed. I got shockwaves in the rear. and standard 2500lb bags in the front with their UCA and LCA. Best thing I have ever done to a truck. With their new Ride Pro E system you can program it to go up to ride height when you turn the key and you can program different presets on it to ride where you want too. If you are thinkin about goin with it I would defenitely suggest it, I love it.

Just seeing if anyone was running this setup. I just saw it on HPTV the other day and checked it out, first time I had seen it.

WHY ARE YOU WORRIED ABOUT WHAT I'M DOING?

Maybe he was getting excited for you ... finally doing something to your truck besides a TB spacer.

I had to take that off, too much power and it blew the trans.

i remember when a local truck riped his rear out. he was running an air ride 4 link of some kind and several people mentioned how they really are not designed for a lot of power. this truck was running in the 10's.

i dont know if this kit is like that or not but something to look into if anyone wants to run this and drag race too.

That is the exact reason I had my 4 link fabricated vs. installing one of their kits. I have all Air Ride Technologies parts, I built up all of the suspension around running about 600 hp. Its held up very well so far(even though I am not running 600hp yet anyway)
