Works now. That looks pretty cool. Come's with a warranty too so thats a plus.

Those systems work really good, and the nice thing is that it get's rid of the "floating" feeling on the front end as well.

The 1 thing that I would recomend thou is if you have the money make sure to pic up an on board compressor as well it makes it so much nicer because you have constant control of your load height.

Or if you wanted to do it a little cheaper pick up a good air tank that you could mount under the truck

and run a fill line to say the back bumper that way you always have air when you need it! What makes this type of setup nice is that you can also have a regular air hose conection that way if you get a flat or want to air down on your favorite trail you don't have to worry about needing to find a compressor when it is time to head home .

walnuts, im 16 in high school and no job! unless you would like to donate to the lift kit foundation of blu3expy!?

racenut i was waiting for you to reply since I know that you know alot about air suspensions and such. i have to convince my dad to maybe help with costs but well see. i want them and they will be mine by the summer!
That tank is pretty cool ill definetly look into that!

here is the deal, if your saging with a 350 lb load IMHO the springs need to be replaced
the addon stuff will only mask the problem, remember this is a 14 year old truck.
start with the basics go with springs see how that works first,

 

[jacks3am]

lol it sags without a load i was thinking springs too, i should get a lift from that!

 

[JUST4FUN]

springs should do the trick ,and not that costly

those are the exact same as the the air helpers in the front coils on my parents motorhome...

i think they would be to stiff for the expy

I had these on my old Astro Van - worked great, slightly different application that above but worked great - I didn't have onboard air, I just had a $9 dollar 12v lighter plug compressor and plumbed the air to somewhere accessable.

Here's a write up in the Astro Forum with photos that I installed
