no B & W flip over ball, so nobody will see your ball showing when you're not using it? I saw a guy put a receiver hitch in his rear bumper setup much like yours. I thought it was quite nifty looking. Adds another useful tool for the big rig. Incase you wanted to pull your boat or something:tong She's getting closer and closer to that "fancy shmancy point"

I don't think so, just the small tires leave a larger gap between the tandems.

Looking great Slammed. I wish I had your shop to play in. You are really deep in this project and I realize it's a ton of hard work. The 379exhd is my all time favorite.

Thank you. Feel free to ask me any questions you want about the rear suspension. Basically, I replaced the lower air bag mounts with mounts that are flat instead of the factory ones that have a 3" rise in them. That was worth 3 inches. Then I shaved an inch off the base of each air bag base, that was worth an inch. Then I relocated the shocks because they bottomed out when in the factory position.

Did u buy the bases from 12gauge or where do u get those at?

Yes, I purchased the front air ride kit from 12 Gauge.
