Sold my rancho suspension today. Two young fellas drove about 250 miles, paid $650 and spent 7 hours removing it ! They also bought the hood and front guards for $120.
So that's $1770 so far for 35's, fake bead lock rims, suspension and 3 panels

Hahahaha no long arms, Warn drop boxes, Rancho 4.5" springs front and rear and 2" shackles rear and 2" blocks on the front, rancho in cab adjustable air shocks with the controls, air lines and compressor.
Took them so long because they just didn't have the right tools and they couldn't use mine cause I wasn't home.

I LIVE in Northern Michigan.

Had no where special to go so all I did was sit on the back porch and watched my rockers continue to rust away regardless of the first aid applied.

I don't think these were the type of air shocks your thinking of. Those were used on muscle cars and cheaply on trucks when needed to raise the bed when carrying a heavy load. His shocks used air to adjust the ride comfort not so much height. But they weren't mine so I could be wrong.

Air lift (#81560) makes a set of air bag overloads. Check on amazon.
