Check out the gallery of "averygenosi" (I think that's how you spell it). Avery's got a 7" Fabtech lift that uses a specially designed "extensison" of the rear track to lift up the truck. Don't worry about adjusting the front - it will level itself relative to the rear sensor.

Avery has been posting in most threads involving the LLS (load leveling suspension/air bags)

Good luck and keep us posted!

Arrow four corner air

I still think that the front will just level itself out with the rear, even if you have the extension put on the trackbar. Just don't overdo it - we haven't figured out yet whether or not the system has a built-in limiter. Theoretically, you could inflate the bags until they popped.

Keep us posted!

Thanks for the info - I'll keep that in mind. I guess it only adjusts for slight changes - any bigtime mods will probably require the new mount that you're working on.

Keep us posted on this - I want to see how it turns out!

It's cool - whenever you get a chance

As far as loading them, go to "user cp" up top, and over to "galleries". It's pretty well explained in there.

looking forward to seeing this system in use!

If you have one of those cheap disposable cameras, or a couple shots left on a roll of film, you can take the pics, and take the film to Wallgreen's, Wal-Mart, K-Mart, or any film develpoment center like that, and they can put the pictures on a CD for you!
