What an simple and easy job...I ordered kit #60818 for the dodge ram.

woke up early thinking this was gonna be an all AM project, but it took longer to get everything together and jacked up, and run the lines than to actually install the bags themselves. total time, about an hour, or less....

key is, getting the frame jacked up and opening the springs.

not gonna show pic of the bags in the springs themselves but where I put the lines....didn't have to drill anything...just a couple of zip strips along the way and BOOM, done!

theres already 2 holes in the hitch receiver, couldn't be more perfect.

butt end of the truck sits way higher now too. (but I have air @ 35psi for the next 24hrs to test for leakage).


now i'm going for a drive!

thanx

I wonder tho, would I be better off with 2 inlets, or using the T and switching to 1?

does it really matter?

I would stick with 2. I like having more control of each side. I use 2 separate lines like you did. I've had more weight on one side than the other before, plus I use it to offset the drivers side lean on my truck when unloaded :)

just my 2 cents, I used the "t" simply because in such a small airbag it would be hard to get the pressure 100% equal, thus loading the suspension unequally when towing. again, just my thought.
