Bagged 2008 fx2 screw
Alright. Bagging my 2008 FX2 Screw. Yesterday I ordered the RideTech AirPod RidePro, upgraded 5gallon tank, dual compressors, Big Red 3/8" valves, $2222.45 out the door with S/H. They however do not come with the ride height level sensors ($500 for 4). I called and told them I misread and they were nice, cancelled my order and refunded my money immidiately. I'm getting ready to order the Accuair E level system, $2445.00 plus S/h. Mine is coming with Upgraded dual compressors, 3/8" valves, EXO2 dual compressor mount, and this kit DOES come with the ride height sensors. Here is where it gets picky....
option 1: RideTech Shockwaves ($900), RideTech 4link ($2000) RideTech Smooth Body RQ 4 link shocks ($250), Accuair system ($2445) total: $5595.
option 2: Michigan Metal Works full control arm kit with raised upper arm brackets ($1200), RideTech 26C double convoluted air springs ($200), Accuair system ($2445) total: $5845.
Any opinions and remarks are greatly appreciated.
Also for those that don't know. I'm only ordering parts right now. I'm currently back in Afghanistan, but I'll try to get pics sent and posted the best I can as my buddy gets the parts. Beginning of July is when everything should start going on my truck.

thats what I'm leaning towards. only thing I wish the AccuAir had is the digital controller. Think I'm going to try and mount my management system under the bed, but we'll see how that works out

Pretty much have made up my mind on which way I want to do the front. Goin with option 2. Sorry for everyone that wanted real world experience with them. Even though I'm not going to be slamming my frame everywhere I go, I do want to have the ability to lay it all the way out. General consensus I've gotten from researching the shockwaves: durable, great ride quality, simple mounting, expensive, awesome if you have a track day car/truck, wont lay frame but close to it. Thats what I gathered about them.
