I forget, are the air bags mounted to the the axle or between the spring perch and frame? If its the latter, the GDP bars would work... but be advised that they don't always solve the hop problem (not mine when backing in snow). Sometimes you can find a sweet spot by playing with the axle angle.

Good talking to you today, Mike...
Now that I know you're a member of DTR, I'm sending a set of LazarLites along with the traction bars for your discount!

Here's the TripLites that Romario has on his Bad to the Bone 2WD Mega:

Daylight

Night - NO FLASH!

Romario laid down 810 HP Friday night at the dyno with low fuel pressure (those twin CP3s are mighty thirsty!), and a single turbo at ~3100 rpm...

the big dogs better watch out - he's gunning for a trophy at the Buda 1KHP dyno in April!

More specifically, if you can post a picture with them installed on a truck that has airbags. I am having a hard time finding a trac bar that can mount up without removing my airbags... Hoping someone has done that with these?

Thanks for the information. I think I'll try ordering a set here soon!! Looks like the mount underneath the shock brace, which should work with my Airbags.

It must be an 03 or early 04. They didn't come with hood insulation.

Look at the engine...that is a 600 or newer. He must have a stripper or pulled the blanket.
