i just finally got my bags installed and put my truck on the ground sunday night and aired everything up and i am not getting much lift out of the front, although i am not sure how much lift most people get, i am running 40 series 17" tires and w/ my conties aired up to 120psi i can turn my wheels and the tires just barely rub when i turn... any ideas on how to get more lift would be great, oh when the truck is layed out the bags are completley colapsed.

thats ur problem ur at 120psi you would get more lift, try putting ur psi at 150-160 and you should see a little big of difference.

I know i do i had mine at 120 and went to 150 and got about another 1-2" of lift before the bag maxed out

check to see if your upper arm is hitting your upper bag bracket and gussets. @ 130, my lift tops out and the fender is 5inches above the tire

also check and see if the bag is at an awkward angle, you'll lose some lift that way if the bag is trying to rip itself apart

werd that's all I can think of, or if you have shocks maybe they don't have enough travel? You should be getting plenty of lift with 120psi in the bags.

take some pictures how much lift your getting, and how low you are...with the bags fully inflated fairly close and then some fully deflated pictures from the engine bay would be the best to take them from...then we can help you out more...
