Firestone Riderite airbags installed!!!

That's one thread. If you look at the bottom of the page where it says similar threads, there are several there as well.

Excuse the dirt, but here are 2 pics. They are both of the left side, the first one is from the back, and the second one is from in front of the axle.

Again excuse all the dirt. I mounted them in my fender wheels, here are 2 pics of that both from the left side. I also included a pic of my compressor mounted inside the AEM air filter housing. It keeps the compressor dry, and has plent of air flow.

Congrats. BTW I didn't take the wheels off my truck to do the install.
