I have the A.R.T. setup as well, although it is their older rear end design, not the one they sell now. I did the install in 2 weekends, one for the front and the electronics, one for the rear.

00Silverado, I just had my right front upper mount break, it broke the lower tab off, ripped a piece of frame from the outer upper bolt, and stripped the inner bolt. I just had what was left (basically everthing but that lower tab welded back onto the frame all the way around.

 

Thats almost exactly what happened to mine. Sounds like a design flaw. . . The spot they picked for the shock bracket must not be strong enough

 

I have a 2000 Silverado thats bagged. The rear is a Kp componets 4 link with canti attachment and Airlift 2b7 bags, i get about 11" of lift in the rear. In the front is aftermarket control arms with Firestone 2600# bags, soon to be replaces with ART arms and Airlift 2b7 bags. I have 3/8" 3 way valves with dual 1/2" air line. 2 8 Gallon Air lift tanks, And an Air Lift Air commander engine driven compressor.Also Dakota Digital Guages.

 

Nice truck.

Got a new busted part today, found the majority of my left front bumpstop laying in my driveway, it finally ripped loose from the embedded bolt I guess, gotta go get a new one of those I spose, as it is my fenders lay down on my tires...


When you get your bags done, keep in mind that some shops will want to put a step notch in that cuts into your bed, that was unacceptable to me, which is why I went the route I did. BTW, it is impossible to lay frame with a stock bedfloor and 275/45/20 tires, just a heads up.

 

my bumpstops have been pretty much destroyed for a while. . .

 

I heard brakestand and burnouts get mad wheel hop wit bags....is this true?

 

I get no wheelhop at all. I used to with the stock suspension, but now i never do
