Got the tires a few days ago. So far there is a little bit of rubbing at full crank. It's not bad. H2 Bully will pics soon. We gottem... Now we just have to go wheeling with them.

I think you could heat the arm with a torch and bend the arm over a 1/2" . Thus not needing to break out your monkey wrench. And leaving time enough in your schedule for a Bud pounder.

This would work but would shorten the rod (really increase the distance between the two connections) Thus pulling down on the sensor arm and causing the truck to sit lower in the rear!

I guess you could bend the arm in and up which would cause the computer to raise the rear.

Wow rear air, lift kit, one propane torch and a little bending

well thanks for the response dr, i guess it will take a couple of months for me to wear down my 12.50s and try it, but im excited already

Dose anyone know if you can bypass the airbags and install coil springs?

Yes Rusty, I have been off road and flexing mine to the max. I broke the drivers connector rod x 2 then broke both on a different trip in one ditch. That is why I first did the mod. It always broke the plastic pin that held the connector to the switch arm (sold as an assembly only).

Since the Mod. I have broken 2 rear axles and 1 transmission, but the air sensor remains intact.

Also the rubbing on the front stabilizer bar will end if you put on the Fabtech tie rod, pitman and idler arm kit.

Broke the first sensor connector arm in the pic above.
