I love my Air Bags! They were really easy instal. When I load up 4 rims/Tires in the rear I barely drop in ride height in the rear.
Install Process is as follows:
1. Chuck the wheels, jack up the truck/put your jack stands.
2. Remove wheels.
3. (I didn't remove the panhard bar) Remove E-Brake line.
4. Take off the Rear Spring and Bump Stop setup.
5. Cut bump stop as directions say.
5. Put air bag in, feed hose through the bumpstop and attach it to the bag with the clamp.
6. Put the other end (with the fill cap) Wherever you please.
7. Put it all bag together.
8. Fill accordingly
Note, it also get's rid of rear sag for saggy springs.
For Spacers, I would definitely get new Springs, I wish I went that way, but the spacers were a gift, and I didn't want to wait any longer to install them. So I just kept the bags, works out pretty good!

Thank you. It was barely driven by my Grandma, so I am blessed to be under 100k (For now). It's going to be a while before I convert to 4wd, (Not much rolled runners around here). Definitely do the DeckPlate, it's cheap and easy.
Thank's for the Sub!
