2008 Silverado

[Low Rodder]

Put the McGaughy's 5"-7" drop on my dad's '08 Silverado Crew. Love the drop but want a air-over-leaf set-up for towing. Which, if any, of the air-over-leaf kits is engineered for the '08?

Haven't done one yet. If you can answer a few question we could probably figure it out tho. Is the leaf spring still outside the frame rail? How wide are the leafs? How much vertical room do you have between the top of the leaf spring and the top top of the frame? What is the distance from the inside of the tire to the frame?

[Low Rodder]

The leafs are still on the outside of the frame.

The leaf width is 2.5"

From the back of the axle perch to the top of the frame is 11.5"

The distance from tire to frame is 6.5"

If the verticle measurement needs to be taken in a different place, just let me know.

The ARK3002 should work fine.

You don't offer the level pro in a two bag set up that I see. It would seem like the obvious choice, since loads will change. Any idea on when or if we'll see that change?

Though the E2/LevelPro system is designed as a 4-way control system it can be used as a 2-way (when doing only front or only back). All you have to do is loop +5V back into the level sensor and air pressure sensors inputs. By doing so the system thinks the 4 "missing" sensors are all reading +5V and allows normal operation. I've done this a few times and all works just as it should. The only downside is that the control panel will have two "zeros" displayed where the pressure sensors are missing, and the two bar graphs for the level sensors will always be full.

The ARK3002 worked great. There is a factory hole that at first seemed to compromise the forward holes for the mounting bracket but that wasn't much trouble. Only thing we had to change is the bolts. The 2008 is a boxed frame. Switched the bolts out for some 4" and added a washer to the other side.

Thanks for the input. I'll try to have pictures up soon.

Cool. Thanks for the feedback.
