I would love to see a pic of a truck before and after the conversion. I am wanting to keep the truck fairly stock, i.e. no OME lift. I am really wondering if when the truck is loaded down does the ass still sag?

Also, how hard is the actual conversion. I've done springs a million times, just never on an airbag truck.

Larry,
East Coast Rover site in the Range Rover section has a few that have had the conversion. Might help you envision the process.

Larry,

You don't have to raise the truck at all to do a spring conversion. Most people do simply for extra off-road clearance. You can put stock height springs on and no have your common low-rider Range Rover :)

I've had several friends do the conversion and most of them say its a 4-5 hour job. Not what I'd consider difficult. Basic hand tools and the instruction sheet.

Best of luck,

Larry,

I've done the conversion and it's not difficult, the only difference with an airbag truck is you need to add the spring perch cups at the bottom of each corner for the springs to actually sit on. All the mounting holes are already in place. The airbags themselves come out easily. If you need LR part #'s e-mail me. I spent about $125.00 on hardware from LR including some DII rubber spring isolators that help keep things quiet.
