I went through 2 z71 skid plates and the last one came off going down the road, was holding on by 2 bolts and laying on the ground. Soo loud lol. All of my crossmembers have chunks missing from the bottom side where they have scraped so much and I always find chunks of speed bumps hanging on :rofl:

How low are you in the back? That's probably my next investment haha, unclear on how they work though do you guys usually have onboard tanks/ compressor? Or is it like an air em up at your house / gas station ?

im 4/6 but with what i carry in the bed...im REAL close to 7 w/o any air. When I fist got my McG helpers, i just aired them up at home/gas station n would leave em as is...usually 8lbs or so. now with a compressor, tank, valves, switches, i can adjust on the fly while driving.

helper kits come with air line, a T fitting to join both bags and a schrader valve

Mine was too until I took it off. That bish drug everywhere. I've always said I'm gonna do legit oba but I bought a cheap little hf compressor (wired it to a switch) when I first did my helpers 2.5 years ago and it's still doing good lol. Once I redo these notches and fix the frame I'm gonna redo my helpers and probably mount them above the axle. Ideally something like this. but we'll see. Lol.

any reason in particular u want over axle? from what i remember, that can cause a bumpy/bouncy ride if bags are big enough.

those hF compressors are supposed to be good stuff, wanna pick one up for the wifes car. and :datass: seamless tanks

If you do mount 2" square tubing on the top of the frame or use an AVS notch so you will have more travel imo.

No real reason lol. Was just a thought right now. I'll look into it more when I get ready to do it. Dfw seamless tank. Dnw price tag.
