No unfortunately I don't have any pictures of the 3/5, but it does look real nice on the truck.

Don't worry about the shipping I'll take care of it. Just let me know if and when you're interested.

Not too bad...though it will be a little more "choppy" than the factory ride, but when you lower a truck at all, that is to be expected. The only thing that bottomed out on the truck was a rear sway-bar bushing that was on the rearend. I noticed that when I put the air bags on the truck. The bushing will hit the factory exhaust in the big bend over the rearend, so you can either dump the exhaust (after the muffler) or live with it...it's your choice.

Yep, it's still sitting in my garage, just waiting to go on a truck.

In fact...I thought I heard it say it wants to go on your truck. Or maybe I was just hearing things.

The kit is for a V-8 and the shocks are Toxic Shocks. Good ride and not to bouncy. I'll take $250 for the whole set up...kit/shocks.

You can e-mail me at casdak@hotmail.com.

rykwan,

I'm not sure if the difference is the actual height of the spring, or the spring rate/tension of the spring. Maybe someone on here can give you some info. on the differences.

I know you wouldn't want to put springs in your truck, only to lower the front a couple of inches and have the rear of the truck sittn' down 5.

Fifal,
I'm assuming that the bagging question is for me.

I ordered a complete Air Ride Technologies kit directly from Air Ride. Grand total was around $3,000 for the kit, compressor, tank and air-lines. So with that much in the kit I decided to install it myself and save the labor.
