I don't think it would matter if I had boggers on the truck that mud is nasty, I was trying to keep the tires spinning to keep then clean and still you see how they got. I was holding my breath the whole time I was turning around wheel was cut all the way truck was still going straight haha

Been talking to a local guy that is a fabricating machine.... Best work I've ever seen about going to a custom airbag lift. All done out of his personal garage/driveway. Might be keeping the ifs design and going to a custom 9" airbag lift all around

They are extremely reliable. Look at any 18 wheeler on the road, they use them and put millions of miles on them every year.

U know how heavy duty those r and those r just for smooth ride not lift so if they go out then nothing really big deal. And at my work I've fixed 3. This year and we have 4 semis they mess up here and tthere

It all depends on a good install. I daily drove a bagged Chevy for a year and my Magnum on hydraulics for 2 years with no major problems.
