You could use it to set the ride height a little taller so the truck sits level, but it's not designed as a lift kit.

I bet it would really soften up the ride for the rears but dang that's expensive. I wonder how well the front bags would work with a lift. I guess it would have to be modified for a lift.

Well if things pick up for me a bit. I am going to 4 link the rear and install an air bag setup. Then if that goes to my liking. The front will be 4 linked as well with either a coil over setup or bags also. No leaf springs anywhere!!

That will be an interesting set up, can't wait to see that! No more axle wrap! That would be very nice. Since I'm in deep sand all of the time.
