all things said, yer on the right track bro.
really good job, and having an experienced welder to help you, is awesome, so many guys just do it themselves and are welding for the first time, and, well its not always so good .
the dynamics of yer handling, and travel should be fine while driving.
I would want full lift to match the front, the front is more limiting then the rear, so I did the front , then, matched the rear to that. Also I considered even pressure to even lift, do that with the box on, lol.
by sliding the bag mount along the bar ya can tune it that way, Just my .02 bro, I just hate the raked look, and handling characteristics of raked trucks, lol

Yes the plan is redo the front and then set the back accordingly so that fully aired the truck will be the same height as well as matching pressures as close as possible. I have re ordered all of my front back brackets so that will be a week or two but i plan on starting the front fire wall tubs. I am not going to be doing anyting extreme like having full steer layed out but i want as much steer as possible without serious modifications. I am working one more week of evening shifts so i only having a few hours mid day (noon til 3)to get work done but after this week im back to days so i can really get to work on it (5-10 pm)

I will have another update within the next few days forsure

thanks for looking, all the advice and the motivation guys!

Well i just got off work for the weekend. I hope to finish the mini firewall tubs tomorrow, cut off all of the front bag brackets from the first air setup that didnt lay frame+ more. I have ordered new brackets to redo the front suspension so until those are tacked up and tested i wont be burning in the rear bag brackets.

well the mini drivers firewall tub is almost complete but im not really happy with how it is turning out. I only need to tub aprox 6" vertically and 6" horizontally In order to clear for these 17's. Probabaly going to cut it out and start over.

I feel to do this properly i would want to fully remove my interior,dash and glass because its just a matter of time before i

1.burn the truck down
2. pit the inside of ALL the glass
3. melt/cut electrical



This is what im thinking of doing. I really only do need to tub the upper 50% of what is done here but doing such a small portion isnt working out the way i wanted it to.
