Sucks about bottoming out:(
Yep. Still getting used to skating it on the freeway. It takes practice. I will eventually replace the air management system and get something that will maintain a set height front and back. The rear is hard to judge because the psi diff is small when adjusting height. 35 lbs to 40 lbs is a few inches diff where in the front it’s more like 120 to 160 is a few inches diff. I was rollin along thinking the rear is level with the front but obviously it was lower otherwise the rocker would have never hit.

I also got some more missing bumper pieces in the mail today. These are under the hood and I’m assuming keep it from bouncing when you close the hood. I had noticed the grill had a bit of scuffs last week and it looked like the hood must have been hitting it when I drop it to close it. There’s 4 total rubber bumpers across the front. 2 more are on the way.

I stole all the rubbers and hood pieces off my oem hood before getting rid of it... lol

You should get the Accuair system where you have 3 buttons. One being slammed, 2 being ride height and 3 being high that way it takes out all the guess work. You get it setup where you know you're good riding around and just hit the button when you're ready to hit the road.

I kinda want their Envo CT or CVT system as well. Undecided on if I need 2 tanks or not. But it will have to wait.

I have a lot of experience with both products and companies and will say that Air Lift is a much better company to work with. AccuAir seems to be hit or miss.
I need to educate myself in this arena for the new project coming. I will probably be picking your brain on this at that time.

It's been sunny and 70-75 for the last week with another week at least in the works so I've been driving it a bit. Been using some Meguiar's Quick Wax on the paint since my guy said I need to use a spray wax for the next month or 2 until the new paint cures on the front. It looks pretty good so I thought I'd get a few good pics. It's kinda hard at his time of year with the different sun angles but they came out pretty good except for some shadows. BTW I'm about 25 likes away from being the first on the forum to hit 10,000 so feel free to hit the like if you want. ;)

Beautiful truck... After I'm back from vacations in a few weeks I'll be looking to finish getting my rear end on air
