During install we found on the passenger side there is a major conflict with the B&W hitch and the rear shock. If you're planning on installing aftermarket shocks make sure you do it before installing a B&W hitch.



I knew I would be the guinea pig on the compatibility between the Firestone air bags, and the B&W hitch. After several conversations with Ride Rite and a few of their suppliers I was assured they were compatible. Well that was not the case, we had to cut the factory hitch lever, modify the bed, and custom weld a new lever to work with the bags. I know I could have gone with the Air Lift bags that sit on the bump stop tang, inboard of the leaf springs, but I like the stability of the bags mounted on top of the leaf springs. We also found the hardware that is supplied with the air bag kit is not long enough to reach the bottom overload spring and had to be modified.

 

Gees, that thing is for real, what a looker! Nice work on the mods to make it all happen.

 

LOVE it. What a great looking truck.

Very nice looking truck. Well done!

 

Awesome!!!!!!!!!

 

Looks great! What benefit is there to using the front SRW wheel instead of a dually wheel?

This will be my first dually and have been looking at wheels too and I can't say I'm a big fan of the look of most dually front wheels.

 

I like it!!!
A couple of questions
1- why single wheels on the front I know wider stance did you remove the dually hub adapters I thought the bolt circle was different. Will you not get pulled over for the tires not being covered (front and rear)
2- why are the u bolts round at the top should they not be square

 

I thought the same when I saw the U-bolts?

 

very very nice ....makes me want to go get a black dually !!!

 

Looks great.

 

Jbair14,

Doesn't the front SRW wheel require you to carry two spares?

Also, I'm curious about your comment about stability of bags over springs vs. inboard the springs? Not that I can do anything about it with my current truck, but...

- I feel no instability even with a fairly heavy load over the axle...
- Have you experienced instability with AirLift?
- Or is this just a 'in general' thing that is known and accepted by everyone (except me)?

Please help me understand.

Thanks!

 

Please tell me this is Blue Jean with the Metallic 2-tone??? I've been looking for a real pic of this set-up for weeks now!!!

If so do you have any more pics?

Sorry hijacking DONE

 

It is. You can see some picture here...

That's the exact color combo I have on order for my dually. Looks good.

 

With the large tire size difference between the 32" stock spare and the 37" current tires a spare isn't going to do a whole lot of good for me anyways.

I've just heard from multiple people the further out the bags are the more stability they'll provide. I ran on top of leafs on my 6.4 and inboard on my '15 6.7 I actually liked the setup on my 6.4 better. For a lifted application in my opinion over the leaf is easier to set up.
