    Anyone know off the top of their heads if I can do a 2005+ Tacoma U-Bolt Flip with Airbags too? Not worth it? or would i have to get the flip done, shave the bolts, then reinstall the bags.

    I appreciate the advise. To make sure I know what I need...I can put the spacers on to eliminate the cab rub and trim the plastic to eliminate that rubbing. Correct?

    the flaps that hang down off of the airbag mount, cut them off leaving the flat top plate that the airbag mounts to then weld/bolt that plate to the u bolt flip plate is what i think its trying to say

    I think I'll try to negotiate a fair price and assess what needs to be done once I get them. Either way I have no access to a welder right now so I might have to do it at a meet.

    If you really wanted to do load assist bags you could go this route too...

    Weld on axle bracket/top

    Or build something similar to that other thread. Check out all the random brackets on this site.

    thorbros.com

    Would also be an excellent site for Onboard air compressors, fittings, tanks, check valves etc...

    Real popular site for buying parts to put air ride suspension on lowered trucks.

    With inspecting all the locking nuts I found one that has been torqued so much that it has pushed the male portion of the lock total off. Yes the bolt is threaded through the locking nut. Guess where I'm going on MONDAY to raise HELL!:mad:
