Default Rancho level shocks and airbags question

So still kind of new here and been kind of looking around for some options for my new 2012 showing up next week.

I have wheels and tires ordered (33" on 18's) and thinking the front would look better with a level. So was thinking a block kit... I also plan to tow a trailer 1800 miles round trip a couple times a year in the winter for snowmobile trips.. so thinking getting air bags to help it out.

Been eyeing the rancho lift and level shocks and thinking using the my-ride controller or whatever its called would be a slick setup. Maybe down the road add airbags to really have a slick setup..


Anyone ever done this before? Do you think the airbags would be needed with this setup?? So both of them can be ran on a compressor... would it be possible to run them off of one compressor for both setups... thinking if I put the my-rde compressor and "t" an extra air line to fill the other airbag setup?? or could I run a it all on that same controller???


Thanks for the help!

I have an older my ryde system and if they havn't started supplying a bigger compressor there is no way it would work well enough to run the airbags. I know mine can't do it. it's to low of an output pressure

Gotcha, so the compressor with the rancho kit is pretty much just enough pressure to change a setting in the shock not really to air them up?

Most of the airbag kits are made to work with the factory ride height In the rear. Added height via a block would require a custom bracket to work...
