    It should(atleast to my understanding) make a HUGE difference since you'll be riding on air instead of metal springs. I also want it because my truck will look pretty sweet with the airbags and truck dumped to the floor lol. Lucky duck, on my mack ima need to fabricate it myself... or pay a pro but im sure theyll get me for a LOT so ill just pay a welder, because im not a pro welder,since itll be made of 3/4in steel for brackets and ill just do the rest

    There are plenty of guys that have made their own setup for 500 or so. I plan to do one once the weather cools off down south. It SHOULD ride like a dream, but I have never been in one. Every time I ask an alignment shop, they have nothing good to say about air ride front axles. Only thing I would do on mine is put a pressure regulator inside so if I need more ground clearance I can raise the bag height up front.

    Not my truck, but man this thing is a beauty. Sounded just as good as she looked. Pics dont do it justice.

    I follow the driver on social media, the guy that runs Stingray owns it and I’ve gone to dinner with him before. It originally had a vinyl wrap on it and you could see the ghost of it when Kirk peeled it off when he bought it.
