    Any suggestions? I don't care about laying out, just ride quality. I rode in Jeff Mersey's Avalanche(EAI components), and that thing rides alot better than stock. I know people on here say stay away from EAI, but i'm open to suggestions.

    that and can if i went with like ART, could does anyone know anyone that can give me a better price than retail? almost 2k for a regular 4 link seems a bit pricey.

    http://www.innovativeairsuspension.com/ Larry is da man.

    Everything kinda depends on how much you wanna spend (2 way vs. 4 way), if you wanna tow, and if you wanna do a self install.

    AirRide is top notch stuff and very well designed. Most of it is bolt on too with makes it easier for "self install".

    If you got to a shop like an EAI shop or a local custom shop you'll likely be getting weldon kits.

    There is so much stuff out it's no so much about the quality of the parts but the quality and competancy of the installer(s).

    I'd personally look at KP Components stuff or AirRide...give Larry a call and he'll set ya up.

    i'm probably gonna see how much it would be to do it myself, and then versus having a shop do it. I kindof want to do it myself, so if it breaks, i know why and somewhat how to fix it.

    I'd have to suggest a KP Components Cantilever 4-link for the rear. They ride really really good, and get alot of lift. It's a very nice bolt on kit, and costs half of the ART bolt on air bar.

    Their stuff is reliable i've had there stuff on my ride for 6 months now with no problems, the installers were good. Its jus all the other EAI installers that give it a bad name.
