    A few bolts are different.
    The excessive pressure can cause a harsh ride and bounce you around like the shop said it does at overpass road separations and other bumps.

    yeah it's actually why I wanted your guys' input about the tire pressure.
    50PSI seemed high, our truck aren't this heavy and I've seen nissan titans with the same tires running 40PSI max..
    I'm wondering if 15PSI could make this big of a difference. I hope it's just that, though. I'll try tomorrow.

    how does you guys' (6" lift and 34-35" tires) truck behave at freeway speeds? is it a little choppier than stock?

    honestly mine is fine on the freeway i mean you gotta realize you have a stiffer ride than stock in the rear so your gonna get a little bit of bounce out of a bump or something of that sort but mines not bad at all

    why do you need a tire inflator...you need to take air out, not put it in. Just get a flathead screwdriver or something to press down on the valve to let a little air out.

    Get yourself an air pressure guage (even a cheap one from a gas station should do fine) to check how much you have and just don't let too much air out...that way you won't have to inflate anything.

    Good luck man...I've been reading this thread daily like it's a damn suspense novel or something. Just gotta see what happened in the "Procomp 6" lift getting installed today" saga. We're all rootin' for ya man! Seriously. good luck with it.
