    If it has the stud on both sides it takes less than an hour to change. When i ordered my 07's didn't know that was an option,but they had the studs both sides and the frame is drilled or the valve.

    Hendricson Airtek has 1,000,000 miles warranty. Is that help with the maintenance cost? The more comfortable ride compensate for the strange driving character?

    Get the air ride front end and forget about it. It doesn't ride strange. Just adapt and get used to it. It's not going to be a smooth ride, yeh there will be a little bit of sway. Just put down your arm rests and relax, your the skipper and you got a job to do. It's a non issue unless you're a whiner.

    750,000 and 5 year from date of service. My truck was put into service on 11/06 otherwise Hendrickson would have done the work under warranty.

    This what I saw somewhere, but I can not find right now. My question, can I save the kingpin if I change the bushing in time? I think the Tie rod ends and Kingpin bushings are not under warranty for normal wear out.
