After being at SEMA all week and getting some inspiration on what I wanted to do with my truck, I stumbled over to the Firestone booth and talked to a tech guy for a bit. After talking to him about the specific kit for our trucks I decided to get one to the house for when I returned. Basically after adding the AS 2.5 the truck had the rear sagging about 1 inch or so and I didn't care for it. So, I knew that I didn't want the harsh ride of the add a leaf, nore did I want to go the taller block route in case I started making some power didn't want the axle wrap scenario. The air bag seemed like the perfect setup.
First impressions, the truck could easily get an additional 2" of height if you wanted with just 50lb of air out back. I just wanted 3/4" of hieght so I opted to run 15lbs of air in the bags and it acheived just that. The truck drives just like before but handled the on off ramps a bit better and felt more stable at higher speed. Also, the ability to air them up to 100lbs of preasure depending on load is a nice peace of mind. Weight transfer during intial movement is also distributed better for increased traction on wet/or dry surfaces.
The kit fit perfectly and performs better than expected, I am sure glad that I let them talk me into the kit at the booth. Here are a few pictures from the install.

Here are a couple random shots from tonight of my truck with it's new improved stance with some different camera settings at our local drive in.


New PIAA Bulbs

 

do you know if this will fit a lowered f150?

 

i would go with the sleeve bag kit, if there is one for the 04 up trucks, as it mounts on the leaf spring.

 

got a link for this sleeve bag kit?
