    Yeah I can see a bit of rubber helping. It doesn't really bother me much honestly, I can hear it when I'm sleeping but it just means it's gonna get warm [emoji16] I think I saw the coozie thing on a sailboat forum and I was right there. The quick fist helped immensely with the noise transfer to...

    I did get a little project that I have put off forever done. As with anything deadlines seem to get things done. Picking up the new bumper this weekend and need something to strap it on to. So the second tow point is on the list. Exact repeat of the pass side. Take everything apart. Hold it...

    Looking thru the firestone catalog, top bag is the one I am using now. Bottom one is same diameter but 2" taller. No internal bumpstop though. Build a new lower mount, add bumpstop somewhere, and have more travel? Before leveling kit, so I should have 1.5" more between bump and axle now...

    Tiger Awning Question/Suggestions.

    Mounts just screw to the walls. My walls are pretty stout, no problems at all. I am rather timid of it out in high winds though. Yes poles can be staked down to the ground as well, they have feet with holes. Its the Thule 10' model...

    Tiger Awning Question/Suggestions.

    Nope I have ~3-4" easy. I used the old mounting locations from the previous awning. It could be lowered some and still clear fine.

    They were drained somewhat regularly. The are old company trim compressors. Ill see if I can snake a bore scope in one of the holes and take a peek.

    Tiger Awning Question/Suggestions.

    I have a Thule on mine, hard case crank out, the legs are long enough for my tall truck on the larger model, it comes out far enough that the drop is greater than my previous one. Previous was a Carefree. The quality on the Thule is much better. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

    Interesting thought, air ride the whole cab.... I have a pass through though, and only ~2" clearance to the cabover. I have 3/8" line and got fittings for that, so I am going to try it with the 3/8" Will the rust from the tanks really make its way back to the bags?? These are old compressor...

    Yes that's why ping tanks are in the works. Supposedly lowers effective spring rate. Hit me up when your around. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

    Hi and low speed adjustment. I gave them my truck specs and axle weights etc, so hopefully they are well valved. No real room for hydro bumps. If your in Seattle lmk and you can drive it. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

    I've thought about it. I'm going to try to quickly rig up the ping tanks first.... I got plugs so I can plug the fittings if needed. Just zip tie tanks to the bumper. Think 1 gal is enough tank size? Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

    Ski Bum Truck V2.0, F450 Rough Road RV

    I just bought 2.5" external resi adjustable Fox shocks that are supposed to be valved to My axle weights.... Not inexpensive! And.... Feels the same as the 5100's I feel like it bends right behind the cab, and it's harsh.... Think expansion joints in the freeway are harsh. @luthj I have...

    Yes I just don't know either.... That is the hard part. The bags were supposed to be "better" but they feel nearly identical to the stock springs to by butt. No one publishes spring info that I can easily find for "leveling springs" but I need 1.5" ish lift and ~500lb spring rates from our...
