Air ride-anyone in Denver area?

[NPloysa]

I posted this in the Central forum as well, and here for more exposure. This is for a 2nd gen shortbed.



Well, I am still designing my air ride for my truck. Only problem is, I sold my truck. I will be getting another ASAP, so may as well work on my air ride in the mean time. I plan on getting a 2nd gen shortbed SWB, and I designed my stuff around a long bed (frame differences).



So, I am asking if anyone has a shortbed in the area I can come see and take some measurements/sketches from in the Denver/Front Range/mountain area.



I plan on going to a dealer also, on a Sunday to look also, but thought I would try both.

Nick,



YOU SOLD YOUR TRUCK???!!! What, have you lost your mind? I can't believe it. Don't take this the wrong way.

Yeah, Craig, I did. I know, I know... But I have a perty bike in it's place. Don't worry, I will be getting another soon enough. The truck wasn't the one I wanted really. I didn't get pushed into buying it, but it was a good deal at the time, and my Ford had bit the dust (yes, even Fords can die!). The Dodge had injection pump trouble, leaking PS pump, etc, and didn't have the money to fix it, and why fix something I wasn't really needing and not the Dodge I wanted.



So, I will be looking for an 01. 5-02 quad cab/shortbed, hence the slow air ride designing. By the time I get done, air ride will be a factory option!



Nick-yes, I still need to come up and see you and your new/old truck

You need a 3rd Gen



Crage, take yours up there and show him your air ride



Nick, Crage actually installed his all by himself!

Hey Kirk, long time no see/talk. How is Utah? Miss it here yet? Tell your family I say hi and will visit when I come out there, whenever it may be.



Craig, you have the leveling bags?



I am doing 4-corner, leaf/coil delete with these bags pictured here. Scroll down 3/4 page, they are the 2107s, the center bags. 3500# capacity each: http://www.airride.com/productinfo/dimensions.asp



I did have Air-Lifts (similar to Ride-Rites) on my Ford, but never put them on my Dodge.

Nick, I think MLockner's is a shortbed, but it's 2wd. If you don't mind scraping mud off to actually see anything, yer welcome to drive up here to look under my shortbed. Craig doesn't come up to wash my truck anymore. :{ Who's Crage anyway? In latin that would be pronounced Craw-hey. :-laf

 

[NPloysa]

Thanks TPC, but I will try to find something closer first! Although it would be a good excuse to go up to Wyoming and see Vedawoo again, but I don't think the g/f and I have time.



I'm headed to the dealers Sunday to do a little measuring on any shortbed I can find. That way I can take my time and not be hoarded by the salesman.



Thanks!

Tim,

Come on up, I'll wash it for ya. I thought it was pronounced like Cra-hay or it could be like rage with a C in front. I think Kurtis forgot how to spell. :-laf
