Finally installed my Timber Grove ASAM bags. Install went pretty smooth. 5psi rides like pre install. Set up the fill valve at the license plate.
Went offroading at Wildomar OHV and bags held up great, no issues with articulation or pressure loss. Picking up the trailer to adjust the hitch in a week or so and will report back with how it rides towing.
Also picked up a smittybuilt portable compressor. Stoked I don’t have to keep going back to the gas station to air up after every offroad adventure haha
how do the bags hold up i heard good and bad ? any squeaks does it ride rough?

hopefully i added everything on correctly
dobinson springs core 4x4 end links
and rear sway bar

wont lie that sway bar upgrade really works … have it on number two and its stiffer
as for springs ride feels just like oem unloaded which i was shocked about and lifted the rear about 1 in half 42 1/4

Bags held up great. I was able to flex and hit some little whoops around 20-25, nothing to max out the suspension or bags. No squeaking or clunking. They rode just like they did before I put them in at 5psi. Loved it.

Why the heck would they make teal springs.

And thanks, Florida truck, 2wd, 30k miles. Stays pretty clean. I'm also a self proclaimed professional car detailer

What’s the story on your rear pod lights? They look like they’re hidden under the bumper. Got any shots from behind, and at night with them on? Thanks!

I painted mine red too, people have actually mentioned it when I am backing towards them. Nice work.
Thank you. I like it.. Just a touch of color that makes you look twice!

Can anyone please shed so information on what this white crusty stuff is? I'm in Houston Tx. I pick up my truck 1/21 from dealer after it sat on a train for 2 week before being delivered to the dealer . It had not rain hear before being deliver to dealer, nor has it been any rain since dealer received or I have owned it. The white stuff wipes offs , painted surfaces, anything made aluminum even the engine block has this crusty stuff on it.
I live in Michigan and we’ve been getting some good snow storms the past several weeks. That definitely looks like salt or whatever else they use on the roads. It’s tough to get off, spraying typically doesn’t do it. I’m sure there is some product out there to displace it without scrubbing. Here we just have to accept it and don’t try to detail it off lol.

Got my new license plate. Since the truck is black, can drive itself and given my last name is Wright, I thought this was good. Based on my favorite TV show as a kid.

We had a motorcycle club here on base (Wright-Patterson) and named them Wright Wriders to be unique.....so understand where you are coming from.

Dropped it off at local shop to have alignment done tomorrow. This is the shop all the "car guys" go to when they want an alignment done correctly. Also know the guy who does the alignments from another car group I am part of.
