They do help alot on the rear suspension tho.

I'm assuming you just have leaf springs on the rear?

I'm running just air shocks. No room for leaf springs lol

Nah I still have it i had to redo all the links and mounting points to accomodate the rear steer axle. I also broke both of my factory shock mounts and had to build a steel crossmember to mount the shocks to. These air shocks are pain I've about had it with them. Probably going to upgrade my air/filter system and go with a ride controller and air bags or raise my garage door opening and get coil overs. I think raising the garage door height will be cheaper lol. I have a false header at the opening the actual header is 2 feet above so it should be pretty easy to do.

Looks great !
Until you said there’s another header in place it sounded a like an expensive proposition to raise the top of the door

I'll definitely be getting a quote before I make any decisions. Lots of Mexicans still building other houses in the neighborhood so it's pretty easy to get things done cheap for now.
