I bought these with the intent of using them on my truck, but I wont be able to because it looks like they are for 2wd trucks only and I have a 4wd. I bought the bags on here from another member a few weeks ago. The bags come complete with mounting hardware ( U-bolts, Brackets, nuts), 18' of brand new airline, two new 90 degree valves for the top of the airbags, two unflation valves (to fill the bags) and t-connectors. Basically you will get everything included in the original post (ill link that at the bottom) plus a Firestone Air line service kit to complete the "air bag kit". I am not 100% sure on this, but I believe that this is the Hellwig 6210 air spring kit for 2003+ dodge ram 1500 2wd trucks that utilizes Contitech air bags. Comparing the kit to what I have, everything is identical, the brackets, the bags, the bolts, valves, identical. If this is not the Hellwig kit then it's an identical kit sold under a different brand. With that said, I also have install direction printed out that I will include in the sale. It took a little digging, but it has saved me a bunch of time and heartache climbing under the truck trying to mock everything up.
I would like to get back what I have into them, which is $120 for the bags and $30 for the fittings and air line. Ill include the instructions for free :)

2wd only!

I dont understand how they wouldn't work for your truck. The rear ends for 2wd and 4x4 are identical. And if I am not mistaken shadow (original installer) was a 2wd...

I believe its the distance between the axle housing and the frame rail, 4wd is going to be a greater distance. These bags mount directly to the axle tube as opposed to others (such as Firestone) that mount mount to the leaf spring. Spring mount bags use spacers for lifted applications, with these you would have to fab up a top bracket (very simple but would take a little time) so it can reach the frame rail. I would do that, but I have some much going on right now that I don't have time to do the fab work. It's very unlike me to pay more for something that I can do myself, but I would rather sell these (losing shipping charges and time) to someone that can just bolt them up and go. If I am wrong in my thinking, please chime in and correct me. Through my diging though, every place that I could find that sells this air bag kit says that it's for 2wd only 02+ to be exact according to hellwig.

No worries, it's all good. I assumed they would fit both 2wd and 4wd.
