Unless you are trying to keep up with a trophy trucks the Carli lt air bags work great.I just got back from Baja chasing for a class 8 truck.I had to do 1200 miles to git er done.At one point I had to jump on the course to get to where I needed to be in time.I was in the middle of the expert bikes and was only passed twice.
I doubt many will want to climb under the truck and remove timbrens every time they want to go off road

I've got Pac Brake airbags hooked up to my exxhaust brake compressor and use a. AirLift wireless controller and really am happy with it/
Didn't need to run air lines and a bunch more wiring into the cab, it's pretty slick..

Thanks!
Thanks for the greeting. I'll definitely keep an eye out r.e. events, etc. As an aside, are there any New Mexico dealerships that you're aware of who are good to work with? The guys I bought my truck from are clueless about anything remotely technical.

Enchantment in Las Vegas. It was kind of a fluke. They also sell Fords and I stopped in when we were in town for the weekly grocery run. Wanted to do a test drive comparison between the Cummins and PS. The sales guy called a couple days later and started knocking ridiculous amounts off the sticker. Instead of the subtle, under the radar truck I had in mind I ended up with this flashy, bright blue beast. Took me awhile to wrap my head around it but it has grown on me. I decided to go nuts and get Don Thuren to powder coat the suspension stuff in a complementary blue color. This will be a new experience for me!

I have the Firestones also and i love em. I've hauled pallets of rock,pavestone,sod etc along with a 32ft gooseneck loaded down with everything from roundbales, to tractors, to a 28k pound skytrak, and never a problem. Only complaint I can think of is they're a little rough when empty but thats just part of it
