Air shocks are a big success, major improvement to front end ride quality. Pumped them up to 80psi and they level the front end (truck is sitting about 3" higher than normal without the topper and all the gear in it).
Interesting thing is that the fittings Monroe supplies make you tee the two shocks together and inflate them together. I suppose that's actually a benefit for articulation since pushing one tire up forces air into the opposite shock and pushes the other tire down.

Next up is fixing the tailgate area of the bed. I bet most of you California folk are lucky enough to never have experienced sitting on your tailgate and having it break right off with a chunk of the bed...





This chassis is beat, man... Still, we persevere.
