    Yes even though it was mainly to cut down on front end spring sag.
    The ride was much smoother after the shocks went on, airbag assist without was just plain scary.
    I ditched the dash controlled regulator after one month and put ride height valves on each side and played with height settings until I found the right one.

    I will be running the air lines for the kit this morning and run down to fuel it up and check her out. Will update in a few hours.

    Well even without shocks it stabilized my weak front leaf springs tremendously, even with no shocks. It will be even better with trailer attached and i love the on the fly adjustment. Feels to me that if shocks are reinstalled it would be excellent. Even without shocks its pretty windy today and its not blowing me all over the road as it usually does, so I love it so far and glad I added airride instead of spending an additional grand or so just to replace the outrageously priced leaf springs these t680s come with.
