NW MT
D $3.95
G $3.50
Both have been floating within 5 cents a gallon of those prices for a couple weeks

Well, the fix price was right.

I then added 20 psi to the bags to test for leaks overnight.
That raised the rear end a bit more.
Obviously, the back end will settle down with 4,000 lbs. in the bed, but I can say, I am pleased with the results.

I did not get any pics, but I added a 1" spacer beneath the airbags. I then used bolts that were over 1" too long. After threading them through the spacer and mounting them into the bottom of the bags, they protrude downward. The idea here is to allow the suspension more flex if I ever extend it in more severe terrain. The Carli shocks will allow for more droop so these bag extensions will accommodate that should it ever happen.
Here are the finished Carli install shots:

  Put up the ceiling joists today in the low bay side. Low bay being around 11’4” in height. Need to do some exterior wall framing yet to be able to keep the eventual blown in insulation up there in place but ceiling framing is 80% done at the moment I figure Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Here's a before and after showing the additional height with zero air pressure.
Before looks like 43 1/4"
After is 44 3/4"
Some of that is just the fact that the suspension has not settled from being unloaded on jack stands for two days. but I easily picked up an inch +.

DIC is dead on so far at 17.9 MPG and used 19 gal. Calced out to the same, close enough for me.
Local gas is $5-6, but have seen high 6s. What are you guys paying?

I finished up the rear suspension and repaired the leaky airbag fittings (I think...)
I pulled the air bags off and tossed the factory supplied cheapo swivel fittings in favor of the brass ones the local truck repair shop gave me yesterday
