Air-Lift coil lift

Just wondering if anybody is using Air-Lift brand (http://www.airliftcompany.com/) front coil airbags to level the front of there trucks? I'm considering using these, but I'm not sure it will work. I worry about the bolt sticking out of the bottom of my front shock mount. If anyone is running air-lift, or any other brand airbags in the front coils to level there trucks, let me know how it worked and how easy it was to do.

I ran them on the front of my f150, they didn't seem to raise my truck, but seemed to keep it where it was when I put the plow blade on it.
Pretty easy install if I remember correctly, of course that was in 93, dam Im getting old!!!

i have a 95 f150 4x4 that i installed the airlift air bags in . you just have to jack the front end up put jack stands under it , pull the front tires off , take the top bolts out of your shocks , take the top clip out of the coil springs , pull the top of the coil spring back and install the air bag inside of it , then put everything back together again . run a air line to each bag , then run both lines into the t fitting , then run one line out to a hole under your front bumper and install the main line there , thats what i did . it will take you about an hour or six cans of beer . i put 50 lbs. pressure in them , and it raised the front about three inches . no front end adjustment needed at the garage either . i put them in back in september and it still looks good . the truck sits level now and handles alot better . the cost was around 115 dollars Canadian , alot cheaper than leveling coils and you dont need any front end ajustment done either . hope this helps you out .
