It was a breeze Caleb. Listened to Brad Paisley, Mud on the Tires for the first side install, Eric Church cd on the passenger side install with a smoke and coffee break between cd's. Aired up to 40 psi on the jack stands then mounted the tires, dropped her back on the ground and I went from being about 4" off the tires with the wheel wells to 8-9". Once on the ground though I rechecked the air pressure and it was at 60 so dropped back down to 50, 40 and then to 30. Went for a test drive and holy cow!! I think somebody slid an escalade chassis under the truck!!!! You can run the bags as low as 5psi but I wanted to keep the truck off the helper springs and 30psi let her heavy butt hover just above the helpers. It's definitely time to start on a truck bed though. Spent years loading this truck heavy enough to get the bed height down to a comfortable work surface, now it's like climbing Mt. Everest, need one of those pipeliner ladders!! I'm thinking about getting a "T" for mine though so I can just hit one fitting with the air and bags will equalize out by themselves, just glad that every stone I hit does not jar my guts out!

Install is not bad. I measured off the top of the frame 1-1/2" and drew a chalk line straight across the top where the top bracket was going to sit. Assembled the upper and lower brackets with the bag and sat it on the springs. They want you to have 5-6-1/2" gap between the inside of the upper plate to the inside of the lower plate. My bags sat right at 5-3/4" at rest. Then you just level them off(eyeball) with the shims they give you, mark the holes with a paint marker and wear it out. I used one dewalt drill bit(3/8) and sprayed once in awhile with lube while drilling and no problem. Once you got the holes drilled put the bag back up on there. Oh yeah, I left the one bolt on the lower bracket with the slide loose until very last. Put in the 4 upper bracket bolts, then the 4 carriage bolts and shims under. They said you can put the lower shims where the nuts hit under your helper stack. I started to do this but the dang bolts were super long and you use lock nuts and did not feel like cranking each bolt for an hour with a wrench cause no socket would have been long enough. So I just put the lower brackets under the hole spring stack(they say you can do this if you don't have a helper stack but figured what is it gonna hurt if I do it like that anyhow and save myself the time). Tightened all the bolts in the upper, carriage bolts after I got the bag centered side to side then tightened the last nut on the very bottom of the bag. Real simple, and so worth it!! One reason I got the bags is the same as why you did, being able to adjust them. Good luck, it's a real good saturday morning or sunday job where there is no rush. Take it easy,
