That air ride setup is pretty slick, Ben.
I was just reading an old thread over at DP about something like that. The guy there never went thru with it even though there is a market for it, so you might be on to a lucrative product.

Thanks man, I've been wanting to do this for a few years. I also wondered why it hasn't been done... we'll see if the market supports it.

Couple of questions for you:

1) If I wanted stock height, would I be able to use shorter bags to accomplish that?
2) Any chance I could come check out the ride quality as I'm also in Phoenix? I feel my truck rides unnecessarily rough, but I have nothing to compare it to as it's my only vehicle. Beer is one me. :thumb:

Sunday night in Texas on the way to Oklahoma.

Truck rode awesome the whole way and was completely rigged out. Truck weighed close to 9,500 lbs and I averaged 15 mpg @ 85 mph (hand calculated).

Going to see my laser guy tomorrow and get everything drawn up. All the parts/pieces will be cut and bent to my specs. I think I'll have them machine all my tube adapters also.

I have the exact truck and I have been wanting to do my bed forever. I don't have the fab skills that you have but boy it looks good

I should have all the parts to start building the trusses and link mounts by next week. I changed some stuff around after getting back to Phoenix from my trip to Oklahoma. That's it for now.

I haven't done anything with this. I had to take a job out of state and then came back home to start another job as a shop foreman that takes up most of my time. I will get back to work on this when I get some free time. Thanks for all the compliments!
