Re: RideTech Air Suspension Install - 98 RCSB
Didnt really get good pics of front install but went easy with tubular upper and lower arms, bag & cup, new shock mounts, and adjustable shocks.
I will get pics when i have the wheels back off for detailing... Here is some pics of it back together.... |

Re: RideTech Air Suspension Install - 98 RCSB
I haven't driven the truck much other than down the road a bit and back but seemed to ride good & everything seemed to be good.
I need to button up a few things & the truck needs a GOOD WASH & DETAIL! |

Gorgeous truck! Are those pictures of it completely aired out? Can you tell me more about your tonneau cover?

Re: RideTech Air Suspension Install - 98 RCSB
20X8.5S with 5.25” bs & 255/35/20 in front & 20x10s with 5.5” bs & 275/35/20 in rear.
The rear wheels need more backspacing they are CRAZY tight but I plan to get new wheels next year. |
