Thanks guys! I really like how it turned out.

I am very satisfied with the way it rides. I haven't gotten new shocks for the back but once I do I believe that it will ride the same or better than stock.

So what size wheels/tires you going with?

where did you end up putting the air fill valve and did you use a "T" ?
I like the stance too. Just about 1" of rake. Don't tell the guys at GMFS.... they will crucify me and tell me I need cali I think I have decided on going with some centerline Tomahawk series Stingray III's in 20x8.5. Tire of choice will be Hanook Ventus 275/45/20. I put the filler valve a little right of where you put yours. I actually printed off your picture and handed it to them and said "make it look like this" I ended up using the "T" so I have one valve like yours. Thanks for the idea!

I agree, I may just get the factory rear wheel well covers and trim them up to go around my air bags. I'll see what I decide.

UPDATE: Well as it turned out my one inch lift shackles were rubbing on the inside of my stock hangers and were squeaking really bad. So I took her into the shop today to have them put my stock shackles back in so I am officially now at a 4/7 drop.

The drop looks great...have you towed anything since you put the airbags on? Did they help any? I am looking at the same setup, those air bags are they for the suv I didn't see them on their website for the trucks.

I towed my 16 foot fishing boat (which is an ancient boat, so it is not very light) and easily 700lbs of crap in my bed up to my cabin a few weeks ago. It road like a dream. other than I need to replace my shock, it was fine. The bags are McGaughy helper bags for the GMT-900 trucks.

I ran about 50lbs in mine when I was fully loaded.
