I know right? I'm going to shave my AFC foot and do the washer swap tomorrow.

Service body has been removed and I found that my new truck has air bags. I talked the shop mechanic about them and he didn't know they were there either (the same guy that said this truck needed a pump and was not worth fixing). So with that said, I assume that these are considered overload or leveling air bags. She rides like a lumber wagon with 20psi in them. Only slightly better without and no box. If I get longer rear shackles and lower the rear ride height, I think this will improve aerodynamics. I will have to raise the air bag frame mounts if I leave them in. Any thoughts?

Are the bags adjustable with switches or anything? And do you even like them being there?

Have to manually pump them up, but that can change. I want to keep the ability to pump them up if I decide to haul a load.
