I see the swaybar ya mean,we got one on the front aswell stock,as far as the articulation goes,i dont think we gunna lose any compared too what we have now,the axle dont drop that far on leaf springs compared too the coil spring suspension i had on my nissan patrol tray,the airbag suspension has a limiting strap that we install to stop the axle dropping too far,im not a extreme 4wd'r so the articulation does'nt really bother me,im gunna bang in set of TJM lockers too help with the wheel hang.
With the 4" lift set up from airbagit,you have 8" drop plus from normal ride height and 4" compression from ride height...
This weekend i'll go test how much articulation my leaf springs give me,on the farm here i got a nice deep gully too test it out.
ATM im imbezzling (what ever that fekking word is)$10 a week from lyn sssshhhhhh dont say anything,i'll have the money soon

So Bryan, do I understand you right? You reckon cause you get SFA axle articulation with leaf springs you want be worried when your air bag suspension, which is quite capable of giving you axle articulation itself, doesn't cause you've got sway bars fitted.
Anyway, I guess it's a moot point if you've got lockers back and front.
Also, at $10 a weeks spirited away, in as little as 10 years time you should be able to pay for the airbagit system - bring it on!
Did anyone find any vids of a airbagit truck been thrown around on a few corners - or are they too scary to watch!

Hmmm dunno cant see anything missing,just make sure you measure your rear block,its got everything you need that i can see 
its cheap cuz ya using your own springs,why do these things turn up when im commit too something else..
Actually you'll end up with 7" lift..
Edit: actually leave out the front add-a-leaf's your dobsins 2" lift springs + their 3" spring hangers = 5" lift in the front
And the back,drop out your 2" block and drop their 3" block in,should be sweet..
The back might need a tweek up or down but thats a peice of ****..

I bought my leveling kit and 3" rear blocks and U-bolts from Top Gun Customz.
Detailed instructions and easy to fit kit. The ride on my truck is so much better with the leveling kit. The single steering stabilizer was so cheap I also got one of those. That made the steering heaps LESS vague.
If you're going to raise it more than a couple of inches I would recommend getting the double steering stabilizer - I sort of with I'd bitten the bullet when I ordered my single! Admittedly the double does cost more that double - that's because there is a stock mount on only one side so the single stabilizer kit is very simple compared to the double stabilizer kit.
And one other thing, how come noone volunteered to go to the US and test all these things out in person? You could time your trip so you come back with Clay !

Their sending it,$ 610.00.
They dropped the price a bit for me,they sending some advertising stickers over for the truck..
Pity there's not more F250's in the country,their looking too get a franchise rolling in australia,i would love too start a big work shop doing all sorts of F250 mods and so on..
