Any thoughts of adding some type of a wind deflector to the front to help scoot the air over the top of the camper and helping with fuel millage?
Thanks

Thanks

Which type of wheel well cabinets did you order? I see they're listed by which van you'd be putting them in.
Easiest way is to get a headliner from OVRLND. You can order it after the fact and have it shipped.

Second ns7i...great fit/finish with zero guesswork other than poking a couple holes for bolts to go through.

Do you do any moderate to difficult rock crawling or wheeling? I’m getting a canopy camper soon on my Mojave, and I debate airbags in the rear. But I have heard they really limit the suspension travel.
What color sumo spring did you get? Black?

Not positive of the application with a Gladiator, but a quick search says there are Daystar cradles for them, so..in theory...
I have my Power Wagon bagged and cradled using Air Lift 5000 Ultimate (built-in bump stop) bags. Instead of the normal airbag inside the coil, the bag is free with the cradle on the axle. There's virtually no effect on articulation in this manner, other than the resistance from the bag on the lifted side of the axle. When I get into rough stuff, I deflate them to 5psi (as low as the app will let them go using the wireless compressor) with zero worries of bag damage. When I don't need full squish I just reinflate to whatever the conditions warrant.
I have an OVRLND on my rubicon. I run 10-15 PSI in my airbags without any issues during mild to moderate off-roading.

Everyone's idea of difficulty is different, I do mild to moderate rated trails monthly or more in Montana with my unlifted Rubicon JT (4s & 5s on the 10 OnX scale) and a modified LJR. We tend to be similar to Tahoe/Sierras/CO but harder than OR/WA at the same ratings. I'm disconnecting my front sway bar frequently and don't feel limited with the bags at pretty good stuff and no wheel lift where regular 4x4s are lifting (washouts usually). I'm typically running 15-21psi and like the feel on high speed washboard, twisty washouts, as well as in moderate rocks (<16"). Definitely worth the $100ish I paid for Air Lifts.

Sounds similar to my usage as well. I appreciate the info. I will look around and probably grab a set. I don’t see them for 100 bucks yet, but I may not be looking in the right places.
EDIT. Well, I see them on Amazon for $106 so I have them on the list of things to do before I pick up my canopy camper. Thanks!

Something for you (or anyone looking at this for info) need to keep in mind. If you have a modded suspension, and are shopping for a vehicle-specific kit/application with Air Lift, then it no longer applies and you'll have to research the proper diameter and length of bag you'll need. I had to do that with my Sequoia as the springs were not only longer, but wider in interior diameter. Unfortunately I couldn't find cradles compatible with it, so had to go with the standard inner spring bag.
Oh...and when you're running the air hose, be sure it's long enough to accommodate full droop
🫣. I "thought" I had enough until disconnecting my rear swaybar and getting into some fun stuff and all of a sudden "PSSSSSSSH!" followed by the non-stop running of my compressor. Whoops.
