I think that needs to be my next mod. I had my truck squatting with a scissor lift on a trailer. It's in my sig, I wanted people to see how much it squatted. I've done the leveling kit and it looks just about perfect when I don't have that weight there but add 1500lbs and it's odd looking.

So who was the cheapest?

Hey Chris -

What brand of air bags did you get? I had to take of the air bags that were on the truck when I had the B&W put on, but would like to get them back.

Thanks $240 is not bad, I think I would have to go with the compresor and gauge kit too though.

I'm not sure if there is a difference in the airbags themselves, but the mounting hardware. With my gooseneck hitch that is bolted to the outisde, my airbags are mounted between the framerail and the axle. I would have liked them ouside the frame rail for the sway control, but I can't say I've noticed any issues with the way they are.

I've got the Firestone 2330 that mount inside the frame rail. It's a no drill kit that works well with the B&W.
