I broke down and washed mine yesterday. I took the truck out for some light four wheelin playing in the mud and snow. The air bags seemed to allow the axle to still articulate

Looks great like the rest. So you just air up and go with no on board compressor? That would make it cheaper.

Yes, that's it!

I do have a compressor onboard for my ARB's that I can use, but I don't, and probably wont unless an air source isn't available.

They fit in these two holes without modifications. The clearance between the bumper and tailgate may make filling a PITA for some.

Nice write up.

I installed Air Lift LoadLifter5000 on my 2500 today. As mentioned it looks basically the same.
Stuck the air valves in place of the bottom 2 screws on my rear license plate.
On this kit I just had to run a 5/16" drill bit through to make holes large enough for valves. Drilling it out also removes the plastic nipple behind plate that normally accepts the sheet metal screws for the plate.

Thank you! Good idea!

I put mine in the inner fender well right above the tire. I figure if im going to use outside air Ill be checking the tires as well so put them in the same place. Plus close to the air bag there. I used an existing hole in the seam line.

I thought of doing that and then wondered if it would allow the air to transfer from bag to bag in corners, reducing their effectiveness.
I opted for isolating the two with separate lines.

Did mine in 1 1/2 hr. easy, no drilling put the air valves in the two square holes !

That's pretty quick.. You weren't messing around!!
