I probably should have just resorted to sending you an e-mail, I'm surprised no one made a nasty comment about my comment on Timbrens..usually how it plays on here...
In as much as it's already on here (for all to read), I'll just continue and say I didn't know how they mounted, I just looked at the composition (molded synthetic rubber) and thought to myself, an extended bump stop would do the same thing and be a heck of a lot cheaper...
I have to say, I prefer the air lift bags for the adjustability but I'm still baffled about the suspension sit in sag. It's a 1 ton, not a F150 pseudo pickup truck aka: Grocery getter.
My Lance was way north of 3000 pounds and it really didn't squat my truck either. It did suffer in cross winds (rock and roll) but I always equated that to the overall height of the camper and the fact that my truck is lifted too. I kept the OEM spting packs, just had the re-arched in the back and added spacer blocks and angle shims to maintain the drive line angle and in the front, I did a spring flip and shackle reversal so the spring packs are stock and have never been altered in any way (except the re-arch in the back.... And I've never ran nitrogen filled shocks, always oil filled.
I don't believe in Nitrogen filled shocks because they contribute to a harsh ride. The start load on a gas charged shock is much higher than a conventional oil filled shock and that equates to a harsher ride. I did a lot of research when I did my suspension. OBS Fords like I have, have always been notorious as hard riding. You have coils in the front, I don't. I have military wrap leaves, front and back. Not built for comfort but can be made tolerable with some suspension modifications, which I did.
