I removed my spare since I can't use it with my brakes. I also had the panhard bar moved so the rearend could be centered. I don't have the kit the installer (Chassis by Aaron Iha) used what he thought would work best.

Thats super clean man.. u cant see anything, the way I like it:mexsmoke: If you dont mind, what did your setup set you back?

The kit that mastiff and I run is an AccuAir system and didn't know if you ran just switches or if you have an actual control system.

I read in the manual you can't drive with no air in the bags because it might damage your vehicle. Does anyone know what might get damaged? Is it because there is no travel in the shocks?

And is there some kind of warning system to stop you from driving if you have the air out of the bags (lowered all the way)?

You will just be driving on the struts. You can damage the bags, struts, the sensors, or possibly wreck. Nothing but common sense will stop you.

Remove the stock springs and the bags go in their place.

Their is aftermarket sensors that you will use. I did not have factory air ride so I use the aftermarket sensors.

I didnt have the auto ride before. But i can tell you this, once you ride in a truck with air you'll never go back. This truck doesn't have a floaty feel to it. It's kinda hard to explain.
