    Anyway he installed his rear air bags with stainless steel line instead of the plastic hose that comes with the kits! I might offer him a few cold beers and supper if he will supervise me doing mine...

    Thank you for taking the time to post the pics!
    Good idea with the stainless.

    You could easily raise the rear of the truck 4” with the bags.

    If you find a decent air compressor / onboard air management system, let me know.

    That would make connecting to a trailer much easier.

    Done deal, shark bite fittings. Run with airbags together or separate. A few more zip ties, little flat black paint, call it a day.

    To my surprise, it takes very little air pressure, the set the truck level. 5 to 10 psi, to raise the rear 3/4”

    if you run into any issues with mud or debris hitting those fill stems in that location , another good place to put them as i did the same thing running 2 lines. the hard plastic molding that is behind your license plate. I drilled holes and put them there, no bending over and at night with running lights on I could see them. you did a Awesome job . on my last truck i had firestone bags and used Bilstein 5100's as well but it was part of a lift kit with new coils and control arms etc. I also added a leaf to my leaf pack which when driving empty it put the truck rear up about 1/2. the bags i kept 5 or below when empty. when i was empty and had bags higher than 10psi my rear felt some tail wag. You will get it dialed in.

    oh and you will get some rubbing over time putting the air line over the trac bar. if you like that spot and want to keep it there, get some bicycle tire tubing and cut some pieces to protect the air lines where ever they are likely to rub.
