    While doing my research before I bought my airsprings I couldn't find anyone that posted pictures or even mentioned they had installed them so I figured I'd put up a few pics.

    I use my truck to tow a boat, pick up bark mulch in the spring, pick up a ton of wood pellets a few times a year and a few other "home improvement" uses so I figured these would come on handy.

    They have about 35lbs of air in them in these pictures. You're suppose to keep at least 5lbs in them at all times, but I chose 35 for just driving. They hold up to 100lbs.

    The valve stems. I was going to go with a 'T' connection to fill them both up at once, but decided I might want more in one side or the other if I carried an uneven load.

    They're suppose to improve the ride with a load. Without a load there's no difference. (unless they're over inflated) :basketball:

    On a scale of 1 - 10 with 10 being the hardest....these were about a 4. I had a little bit of a problem with the bolt supplied to reattach the bump stop, other than that it was a no-brainer. :)

    :rocking: what are they rated at? What I mean is how much weight can it hold before they fail?
