Hey guys I installed a airlift kit on my truck. This is to help with my trailer or anything I would pull to keep the back of the truck from dropping in the rear. With help of my buddy I got the kit from it was a pretty easy kit to install. Had to cut my exhaust just behind the muffler to install the brackets. Time will tell on how good it will be but a few friends use and swear by it. Took us around 2 hours to get it installed. The kit I have on mine is a 57200

I only have the rear done and I can tell a difference in the ride IMO. Main reason I put it on was to help out when I have a load in the bed or my trailer hooked up, and it was free so why not lol

Since new in 2005, 80% of the time there was a load in my bed or I was towing.

Free mods are great.. Thumbs up Coop

Absolutely. I like my stock hight. I'd like to b able to ride at that hight. But also. Do a 2-4" drop. Wheel change. And cruise. Ya know? Hot set a true forged. And dance with the wind kinda thing

Keep in mind that it is easier to load 2 dirt bikes, plywood, etc, when the bed is lower.
Since new in 2005, 80% of the time there was a load in my bed or I was towing something.

So have you towed your trailer since the bags? Someone wants to go riding..
