I installed the Air Lift 5000lb bags on my last truck. Here's a pic:

I also did an onboard compressor and 3 gal tank, so I could adjust the bags from the cab and also have air to air up tires ect...

The bags and install kit are $215 +/- form Summit racing.

THe compressor and tank kit was another $300 or so. Bags install in 1/2 hour, super easy. The compressor and tank were a little more complicated. Let me know if you have any questions,

Chris

I got the airbags from Summit too. I have a 4" lift (2" in back) so had to get the additional spacer piece from 4-wheel parts wholesalers. Looks like you have the spacer for the 6" lift? (looks like a piece of pipe under the airbags.)

Super Duty Air Lift air bags- - - Installed on a 2004 GMC 2500HD and now a 2005 3500 SRW. Just following the instructions - helps to take off the rear wheel and jack up the body - gives you more clearance.

Where did you mount compressor and gauge?

Mounted the compressor under the bed, next to the gas tank.

The tank went under the bed also, against the frame where the spare tire mounts.

As for the guage, I mounted it in the center console, it didn't turn out like I wanted and I haven't found a good spot for it yet on the new truck.

I think I might put it where the boost guage was on the old truck, you can see it in the upper left, where the little pocket used to be.

Who knows,

Chris
