All went good took 1 hour time

I found 2 holes under tailgate area I mounted the valves to otherwise easy install

Tail gate doesnt hit valves I checked several times before I bolted them in

Aren't the valves a bit awkward to get the caps off? Looks kinda tight is all...
Airlift is some of the best $ you can put in a RAM if you have to tow.

Very nice! Any reviews on the quality of the ride yet?

I've had mine on for a little over a month at 15 psi and love the ride and great addition for only $90.00 bucks.

hope you check back here, I have a question for you. Did you have a hard time getting the hose onto the bag once it was in the spring? or did I do mine wrong. I installed bag, then black doughnut, then hose. Mounted my stems like you did as well but putting the hose onto bag was a pain in the rear. I just couldn't get the clamp seated to my likening. I'm gonna get some angled needle nose and try tomorrow...

I used a little spit over the metal piece and the hose went on easy, then did the same thing on the hose and wiggled the clamp over. Push on opposite side when clamp is pinced then push down on clamp side and repeat lubricate as needed. Worked like a charm for me.

On my install, I just stuffed the bag in between the coils. You don't have to remove the coils. Airlift FTW.

I just held the ring doughnut/ring up on top of my handwhile pushing the hose onto the barb. Once I slipped the clamp down I let the doughnut/ring drop and voila.
