Truck came out great Slammed, I do have a question for you though, I am also running a lite truck, 2010 384 crew cab with a small ISM Cummins in it, front axle weight is right about 9900# total truck right at 14,000 Single rear axle.
My question is, I would like to drop the front of the truck down about an inch or two MAX. right now the truck sits almost dead level, and I don't want to raise my rear leveling valve any more.
So would installing the air bags on my front axle (and of course dropping down to one leaf) give me the drop I am looking for without changing axles?
Don't want it "in the weeds" just a bit more rake, also because I am so lite on the nose I thought the air bags would soften the ride a bit?
I am pretty sure I am on the right track here, but since you just went through this I would appreciate your thoughts, also on the front air bags, are they "adjustable as to ride height? or is it a one or the other, all the way up, or all the way down? Here's a pic of truck, you can see the front is a bit high for my tastes.
Thanks,

Thank you. Great looking truck, I love the custom cab. I think an air ride kit would work great for what you want. You can adjust the ride height with a momentary switch. You'll be able to lower the truck or raise it higher than it is now. I haven't had my truck on the road much since I installed the kit, but I hear trucks ride much better with front air ride.

Thanks Slammed, that is what I was looking for, appreciate the info. It doesn't ride "bad" now, but with such a short wheelbase on certain roads it can get a bit bouncy.
