    I spotted this on Amazon.ca this morning - If i read this correct, it's appropriate for our 2wd 5lugs?

    I am pretty much already committed at this point to the ready-lift SST kit, with AAL and Billy 5100's on the rear. However, has anyone else gone down this alternative route with our specific light-duty trucks, to increase loading capacity/stability? Perhaps even using this in conjunction with an SST kit?

    Just a line of thinking that i am exploring, to deal with my ATV laden truck, if the AAL/Billy's route isn't adequate to my satisfaction.. buying a new truck, isn't really an option that i wish to finance right now.

    I did with my 2008! The air bags are the best option imo. You get ajustable height and stiffness to carry heavy tings plus the original ride comfort when unloaded. In the front i have installed the strut spacer from ready lift and only the bags in the rear. With bilstein hd all around. Love the setup!
