Yes I looked at the RAS and the Airbag. I kinda lean toward the Airbag, but the RAS is very interesting. Just not sure if I will need it.
I'm still a little confused on how this will sit with the AAL in the front and the "B" springs in the back. I think based on the other threads in here, I will end up with about 1.5-2" higher in the front with the 2" X blocks on back, but pretty even with the F350 blocks. We'll see. I'm ok with an inch or so rake in the back. I just don't want to be higher in front. If those AALs ride too rough, I'll hunt down some V springs for the front.
I don't have any rear sway bars yet, but yes it will probably need them too.
Yes, I did see the SPD Y pipe mod and am curious if it really makes a difference. To me, before doing that, it makes sense to put in a high flow cat and high flow exhaust. I mean the stock Y pipe has narrower openings than the rest of the exhaust but it's hollow. From what I have read, the most restrictive point in the whole OEM exhaust system is the cat. In a perfect world I would have the money to do it ALL! Oh well...
Thanks for your suggestions, all are worth a consideration.
RAS will raise the back 1 1/2 inches give or take, you set it and forget it and makes the ride much smoother even when not loaded. It also helps eliminate sway some by stiffening up the springs so you may not need a sway bar. I don't have a sway bar and I tow a lot.
It's a really good compromise between new rear springs/airbags/sway bars.
did my driveway alignment...much happier with a properly aligned steering wheel.

Welcome to the fold brother! You're still a target to me...but I hold you in higher esteem now

Hey now, no friendly fire. Besides, there is a possibility that I might get stationed in Honolulu, and then you will have to put up with having me on the island... If I do, I am not sure I will ship the Ex out, shipping a car is not a cheap thing. I might end up leaving it state side with my folks. Anyways, that is something that I will just have to wait decide on, if my orders send me that way.
On a side note, do you know why Navy guys have such good looking kids? It's because the Coasties take care of the home while they are away at sea!
I've had some extra time at home since my Semi-Truck is getting a rear end replaced. While picking up my order of Schaeffers 293 DIff Lube for my truck, i also picked up 8qts of Schaeffers 9000 5w-20 motor oil and decided to change the oil.
since i was also changing the oil in my Semi, i picked up a nice Cummins Filtration LF16002 Filter.
as you can see, and much to my surprise, Schaeffers oil is Green in color ( i've heard that Brad Penn oil is too but i've never tried it )
fun day!! now get out there and show your X sum love
Started here at the house, spent the weekend down by Westport, WA.
Ended up at SeTac Airport with my 30 foot Airstream
Man that pissed some people off. Was only there for like 5 minutes, and I didn't park any cars in or anything. Lots of "Look at that crazy white boy" coming my way from many of the airport staff.
Uh oh, there was a box on my porch yesterday that was packaged with this curious yellow tape. It has some strange blue rubber tubes in it. Looks like I'll have to figure out a place to put them this weekend. DAMMIT!!
