What were you running before? How do these compare to what you were running?
What's involved with installing?

Thanks.

I had rancho 9000X shocks on it before but with the plow they went out in two years..It took me about two hours to install them, but it was not hard...I just wanted to make sure it was on right..

Also the ride is much better than what i had before..AIR:D

You put the air button in your bumper?

You put the air button in your bumper?

Yes i did thats the only place that was herd enough to hold it...and the instructions said to install it on their too...I did not want to drill on my bumper..

:cool: A little scary location for your air filler, but different & interesting, cool

I thought of othe rplaces to put it but that was the only place that was eas to get to and there is no way the tire will ever hit it..

So, give us some more info. Where did you get them? How is the ride?
Do they actually adjust ride height or just rebound-dampning?

Thanks

I bought them from www.trucksprings.com the ride is awesome much better than any of the other shocks that i've had on my truck....and you can adjust the ride height it all depends on how much air you want toadd to the air bags...my truck lifted about 2in. in the front with 100psi of air in the bags..

Doesn't adding 2" and taking it away throw off the alignment?

So what kind of plow to you hang on the front and have you had it on to see the difference. I have timbrens, but with the wings on my plow it makes front end a little lower than I like and that is with a bunch of ballast. I will likely add these in the fall.

I have a Western 7 1/2' UltraMount Pro-Plow....I have not put the plow on to see the difference...But i cant wait untill I do..:)

I was waiting for someone to finally put those on. i found them a couple of months ago and I've been watching and debating on whether to go through with it or not.

My problem is that I start out fine, can clear curbs with the mounts and the tires are clear of the mud flaps. But as the plowing continues, snow is building up on the underbody and whole truck lowers from the built up weight. Then I cannot clear the curbs, and really after a couple of forehead to steering wheel encounters, I get pissed:D..

I'm sure you wont have that problem if you put these on...since you already have the timbrens too.

when will you be able to mount up the plow??? how easy is it (how long does it take) to adjust the height??

I have been waiting about 2-3 months to see if someone else would put these on and give a good report. I have been planning on adding them to my truck also. Do they soften up the ride a lot or not? I have Timbrens on the front and it's a little stiff.

How long are they, will they work on a lifted truck. My torsion bars are sagging.

The plow idk when i'll move it again but as soon as i do ill post some pic's.....and for the height adjustment it's just like putting air in your tires it takes about 10seconds to get to full 100PSI.....Since the bag is so small air fills it up fast..

It does soften up the ride if you have it between 10-50psi....But anything between 55-100psi the ride get a bit hard.. i plan on running mine at 100psi with the plow on..

How much of a lift are you talking about???.....I pretty sure they only work for stock trucks.:confuzeld

10" lift, I could make the brackets longer if I need to. I just don't want to spend money on new torsion bars and then have the same problem.

I don't think they'll work for a 10" lift..
