I'll get you guys an accurate cost after the installation is done but the guy who runs the shop also has one up in Thompson and he says alot of the people there are having issues with the air ride to so if everything works out like it better with all the research I've done he can put together a kit that'll probably cost less than the price of a compressor or an airbag

 

[Vshni]

Well all the parts came in today trucks gonna be going to the shop tomorrow so hopefully I'll have the pictures of the install sometime tomorrow evening

 

[Vshni]

I might get a lift later but I'm putting the rancho quick lifts on so from what I've been reading I should be able to put 35s on afterwards so if that is the case I might not even bother with a lift

 

[Vshni]

Well they started already I'm excited to be able to wash the truck after without worrying about the compressor turning into a block of ice

 

[Vshni]

I live in Canada where it's cold it dropped to -25 not to long ago and I was left riding on the bump stops for the day and after 2 months of no suspension last year and a month of it's on and off again working I really dont wanna live threw that again this winter and its cheaper for me just to replace it with coil overs than to sporadically miss work threwout the winter cause my truck can't drive in the cold

 

[Vshni]

So heres an update the fronts are on I'll post pictures of that later but they sent the wrong spring and the right one wont arrive till tomorrow

 

[Vshni]

And heres the front with the ranchos installed other than the wrong spring in the rear the install has been pretty straightforward

 

[Vshni]

Well I got the truck back everything is all done they even took measurements previously the front was 37.5 and the rear was at 39.5 now they're both at an even 39 and so far the ride is pretty good took it threw the floodway on the way home handled all the washboard and bumps better than the air ride ever did I'm gonna have to fiddle with the adjustments a bit in the front cause the little bumps and potholes do feel a bit rougher but overall it's an improvement over the air ride but I do have a parts list with numbers for anyone interested and heres the pics of the rear

Rancho quick lift front left strut r5999944

[Vshni]

Yeah sucks I had to do this hopefully this will help someone else out whose having issues in the cold as well

 

[Vshni]

I wanted that but theres no dealers in Canada and I couldn't get it here soon enough but as of now I'm happy with my setup

 

[Vshni]

Direct fit no modifications needed other than removing the fuses for the air ride

 

[Vshni]

Compressor tanks and hoses are still on board we decided to leave them for now incase any issues came up I could easily switch back but after having it for a a while now I dont see myself having to do that I'll probably end up keeping the compressor on the truck so I can use it for filling tires or whatever as for warning lights all that happens is a message pops up saying service air suspension when you first start the truck and it goes away if it annoys you you can get the dealer to remove the code for the air ride

 

[Vshni]

Like I said in my previous post a message saying service air suspension pops up when you first start the truck and it goes away. Anybody whose has ridden in the truck hasn't even noticed it but next time I'm at the dealership I'm gonna get them to get rid of the code for the air ride

2017

 

[Vshni]

Rides a little stiffer but not much everyone that rides on the truck says it's better tho so might just be me and for the error code I'll be working on that this weekend my obd reader came in and with alfaobd I should be able to remove it but I'm not gonna have any time till maybe Friday so I'll let you know how that goes whenever it gets done

 

[Vshni]

I'll grab a picture for you sometime today.
And yeah I probably would have gone for some kings on the truck for some reason I couldn't find icons out here and the ranchos are basically just a quick fix still a nice enough ride but I really want those kings but it's like a month wait for those

 

[Vshni]

Heres the picture you wanted if you want one with more lighting or something your gonna have to wait, there's no way in hell I'm running out in this cold at lunch just to grab a picture lol

 

[Vshni]

Awesome glad you got that taken care of.
No longer having that morning dread of whether or not you can drive your truck is amazing lol
