who has pics of there mini packs before and after? im gunna put mine on today and was looking for a pic to reference too....thanx

 

here is a pic of them installed. I could not find a before picture.

The hardest part can be the drivers side. The Emergency brake cable can get in the way. It can be removed with fuel line removal tool to take it off. Other than that, it is a tight squeeze.

 

how is the ride with them?

 

they were good, but these are better. LOL



They (the mini) did help with the expansion joints and the initial hit from big bumps. The stock overload just hit to soon for me.

With the full replacements, the springs just flex and articulate more and ride smoother.

 

Mini packs are good, but like nriver said the full packs are that much better.

 

Is the load capacity changed with those full replacement packs? How much lift over stock are they?

 

Yep, load capacity is changed. Lift is minimal, maybe an inch or so.

 

more info on my leafs can be found here

I am even quoted in the write up.

 

nice setup but i've only got $422 in my air bags+controller kit

 

You're comparing apples to turds.....

 

that's because i don't like oranges.

 

These are for helping NO/Light loads, vs your airbags for heavy loads...

 

Ditto on Mr. Garcia's statement. No comparison. I switched out my Firestone's for Carli's Long Travel's. Best of two worlds.

 

What? Did my Father post while I wasn't looking?

Call me Paul or Pauly.

 

Whatever you say "MR GARCIA" Ok, now that that's out of the way, if you REALLY can't figure out what the difference is between a set of custom dual purpose leafs and some firestone air bags, I think you need to do some research.
