NOTE* It seems like every time I find a thread with these kind of modifications in it, there is always someone who adds a comment like "You ruined a good truck," or something similar. Lets just avoid the arguments and cluttering a thread right now, and if this describes you, please just hit the back button now, thanks. END RANT
Alrighty, so I have started my journey into the adjustable suspension world. As of right now, not much has really been done passed taking off the box and taking some measurements and getting ideas in my head. I thought it would be a good idea, though, to get the thread started so you guys get an idea of what I am doing and what is planned.
Air management will be handled by Airlift's Autopilot v2 system, a York 210 engine driven compressor, Airlift Dominator 2600 bags, 2 5gal air tanks, and probably 1/2" hardline(haven't got this yet, haven't made up my mind)
Suspension will be a triangulated 4 link with 30" bars and bag on lower bar from Nfamus Air Suspension(should get here any day now), the bilstein shocks I already have from being lowered and it looks like a ford 8.8 rear end out of older F150's because they are narrower and same bolt pattern(Instead of narrowing mine). Upfront will be Michigan Metal Works control arms(haven't ordered yet). Can't make up my mind on Jeebus joints or ball joints. Only going to be running a 275 45 20 until I get 22s which will only be on a 265 30 tire, nothing crazy.
Gas tank? I dunno yet. Ive got this crazy idea to cut out the bed wall and move it in 13" and put the gas tank behind it. So basically with the tonneau open, the box will look like a shorter short box. OR raise the whole bed floor and put it underneath. OR just chuck in the bed for now and wait until I feel like buying a custom fuel cell and put it wherever I want.
I think that's all Ive got to say for now, its kinda late so I am sure I forgot something. This is all Ive got for pics, unless you guys wanna see some of the parts Ive started collecting
PS- All you 4x4 guys or other bagged guys that are thinking "WTF! YORK BRACKETS FOR A DODGE?! I WANT RIGHT MEOW!!!111!!!"

All Ive got to show you so far
You boys and girls in the static game, I guess this is what happens when your shocks are to long and you just ride around with them bottomed out!
