I did, but my shop guy had Ranchos on his Armada and couldn't speak more highly about them, and they were in stock at the local DC, so that sealed the deal.

So, I've gotten about a week under me with the Ranchos and the Airlifts. No towing yet, so the jury's out still on that, but I did take a trip into the mountains with four adult men, golf clubs and four day's luggage. With the Airlifts aired up, the back end handled the weight quite nicely. Just aro...

Time For New Shocks and Airbags (Highway, Dirt Roads & T

So, it's time for new shocks. What was once a "Gee. I think it's getting close." turned into a "It's time." after towing 6000 lbs last weekend and driving around with 6 adults this weekend. The rig is an 08 LE V8 AWD. So, the questions... I'm considering adding some Airlift 1000s...

Just as an aside, the Spyder site lists these as fitting 08-11.

I have the Panavise mount and it's OK...not great...just OK.
