Welcome. Wow, that interior has more guages than my Cessna 310. Pardon my ignorance; what are they all for?

My goal was to stop getting those $50.00 tickets for bumpers being over 28" and keep the look as before so I decided to use air springs along with 6" Superlift suspension lift so if air bags failed I still have a suspension even when 4 wheeling. With air bags, 4 link (no room up front for bags because of CV axles) alone just one failure (hole in bag, hole in line, bad valve, compressor, ect.) and you go nowhere. So I just added air springs to raise the truck and loosened torsion in front and took out springs in rear to get bumper down to 28" or less and now I have 9" of adjustment.

Thanks guys

Did you see my red light camera avoidance system.

Made a air cylinder out of a 6” piece of ¾ npt pipe, 5/16 x 8 bolt, 2 washers, 2 ¾ end caps and some rubber, then it fastens to a cable that ran to the license plate hinges. The switch runs to an air solenoid that activates the air cylinder.

Just hit the switch and the license plate slaps down on the bumper till you let off.

Doubles as a thanks sign when someone lets you over in traffic.
