May be a dumb question...
Why doesn't anyone make a front airbag system? I have searched to no avail. Just curious, for when I have the plow on, or just for when I put the Ranch Hand back on the front to keep things more level. Am I missing something? I have seen air systems from Kelderman installed on Trucks! I think it was on a Dodge they lifted. Sorry if this is a silly question. TIA Tim

Wouldn't beefier springs be a better call? I'm just guessing that either the bumper or plow is usually on there, so why go with a complicated system?
An '04 is a coil front, you could get some made and keep the lift.

I got new front springs, will be putting them on in the next week or 2. Just wondering though , I mean you have the option for rear air bags for load leveling, why not the front for like plowing, big bumpers with winches, etc.. Thanks for the links I'm gonna check them out now. 04 has leafs yet. EDIT: When I go to Firestone and click part # it sends me into Adobe Reader which always freezes my screen. Went to Susp. Connection, tried to send them an e-mail but it won't let me. I'm going to install the new F. springs and go from there, the ones on my truck can't be more than 2-3 yrs old and they're FLAT to the point that the shackle hits the bottom of the frame when I hit a BAD bump.
