I wouldnt trust those air shocks for a lift. if you are really looking to keep your rear end from sagging get an add-a-leaf kit from superlift. They are only $70 for the pair of leafs and they are fairly easy to install.

I don't want to use them as a lift. But there's a lot of weight added and I want to use them to handle the weight. When I'm going on a trip and put a lot of things on the car I can air them up.
That's why i prefer them instead of add a leaves...

Not to mention that I can get them in germany...

When my air system is finished I'll also do a in cab air controller for the shocks to adjust them while driving...

Damn, i can't wait until saturday to get those tires mounted...

Managed to get home for a few hours and couldn`t resist to snap pics of the tires:









As you can see they`re a good bit bigger than my Mickey Thompsons, althought they should be the same size...

This is another reverse light I got. I`m planning on mounting it on the swingout, but I didn`t figure out where for now. Any suggestions?

I can see that you´re missing those headlight washers. Did you remove them or did they come off at some point, maybe by accident?

I´m asking because i´m missing one on the passenger side and have no idea where to get those.

Hi,
I removed them because I think they're useless and there was no more room because of the winch.
You are deployed in Germany? What do you do and where are you at? If you need those things i can sell them to you for a few €'s...

And Benedict, those tires are 31's, but as you can see they're bigger for some reason...

depending on the brand 31's can be anywhere from 29.5 inches to 31.5. kinda stupid imo. you should measure the diameters of both tires and see what they actually are. I know my 31's really only measure up only a little over 30 inches. I like the tires you got, other than they are probably going to be really loud on the highway.

I´m sure they´re useless. But i prefer not to have just one.

I´m currently in Bamberg with the Armed Forces. A german friend of mine lives in Fuerth tho and he would be the guy i would want you to send them to. If you just could be so kind and give me a price including shipping. I guess a PM would be a good idea.

Thanks man.

And btw: great truck, i love it. Keep up the good work!
