If I'm not mistaken Draven may have something similar thoses, I know he has the shockwave setup from Air Ride Technologies, and they use a similar style to those. I've been considering them, but they are very expensive. I'm still on the fence about them really.

I put the Double-Adjustables on mine. http://www.ridetech.com/index.php?p=...parent=83&pg=1
They don't have a lot of travel but, they ride awesome! The Suicide Doors versions look very promising. |

I'm still on the fence with weather or not I'm going to get them, but I'm seriously considering it, than again I may go conventional now that Cando is making arms for my truck.

my main concern would be clearance for the bag, because of all that has to be cut out to do conventional bags on these trucks. I'm not a big fan of the AirBar, but it is an option

The AirBar has good points and bad.
It bolts on for the most part but is complicated, heavy and obtrusive.
The ride is great up high, but you need a notch to ride low since the sleeve bags have a low rate when partially deflated.
The shocks and bags are in the way of an over the axle exhaust.
The construction quality is top notch, but the design does not account for manufacturing tolerances and so you have to drill, file and grind a bit to get everything to work.
The AirBar was the right choice for me, but if I were building an all-out custom, I would use a step notch and a weld on 4-bar with a Watts-link.
Lots of cutting up the truck going that way though, so you have to be committed.
