    I paid about $540 for mine I think, but the company I bought from had virtually no customer service. I had an issue and luckily Bestop helped me out directly, they have great customer service. I think autoanything.com will price match and give you free shipping.

    I used my Dad's garage today to stay dry while I installed my Firestone ride rite kit. I sure wish I had a 2 car garage.

    Brackets and bags bolted up, ready to run air line.

    Mounted the valves to the trailer harness bracket. The kit came with 2 heat shields for the hoses so I used one on the driver side line where it mounts to the bracket to hide the bright red hose.

    The kit went on fairly easy. It took longer than I anticipated. I removed the spare tire so I could have more room when mounting the brackets and snaking the air hose. No leaks so far. I pumped the bags up to 20 psi and drove home. The rear suspension was noticebly firmer and I look forward to hauling loads without sagging and bottoming out in the future!

    Well I don't forget when it is behind me, but it does well. I towed it through the mountains of Asheville and didn't have much trouble getting uphill.

    Looking really good bud, the eyelids add the perfect touch to the awsome lights. I am glad to see you got a wheeler. Enjoy it, I can't wait to finish mine. Nice to have a nice truck and a reliable wheeler at the same time.

    ^Thank you sir! I love the eyelids. I get compliments and stares everywhere I go.

    The Runner is getting Trail Gear 4" suspension front and rear with hi-steer in a month. Thats probably all I will be able to do to it this year besides some maintenance, unless I hit the lotto.

    Why did you get ride of the billies up front? When you put them on did you have issues getting the alignment in spec?

    Thanks Jerret!

    I did not get rid of them. I originally installed them set to 1.75" with no alignment issues. Then I adjusted them to .85" with eibach springs, 3/4" driver side spacer and 1/4" passenger side spacer with Light Racing UCAs.
