    looks rite.. cant remember part number so

    I dont have the mount plate extensions because they came out after i already had to weld a gusset in mine to prevent bending. Basically, mine bent and i had to bend it back and weld a gusset then 6months later they released the ext plates.

    Here is the part you need if you have a thicker leafpack otherwise part of the airbag mount will not be resting on the axle as needed:3B7AD4D8-764A-41F2-A5A3-DF849D190700.jpg
    It’s the extension brackets shown in this image.

    For the kind of use you’re talking about I think the daystars would be good

    I have 5160s, firestone bags, and cradles currently. Stock leafs)

    Works fine but the cradles with firestone bags excessively limit up travel unless you are lifted. Going to remove cradles for now when I get around to it.

    I love the remote wifi airlift controller. No more cranking trailers up and down for me...

    Awesome. Thanks. I am 2" lifted in the back, so I purchased the 2" extender. Seems pretty straight forward

    I believe so, fit it to the air tips you get.

    I dont recall if you have any on board air rig.

    This is my 4th vehicle with bags, first time I bothered with onboard compressor. Well worth it to me... but a big additional cost though for sure.

    Well you probably will use it now. Rig that baby into your Viair with manual valves or solenoids, worth it if you go back and forth with trailer (my opinion)

    It’s only for the summer. I have a 50psi hand pump too, but I get what you are saying.

    It’s super easy to hook up to the battery and go, under 2 mins
