Anyone use one of these? It doesn't have the jounce block though.

Rough country uses the air lift bags with their RC logo, but they designed their own similar mounts. The quality is very good and the only thing I would change over to is stainless nuts, bolts and washers. This would only be due to the supplied hardware getting rusty over time and if you have a lifted truck you want the hardware to stay looking nice. I have friends who work there, and they say they have had no complaints out of these.

And Don't forget the Train Horn! when doing bags. You will already have the compressor. :ernaehrung004:

And when some Fuker gets in the way while Towing it ALways comes in handy.

Tank,

Don't know what year you have, but a buddy has a ‘23 2500 gas, with the Allison 10sp, and they are issuing recalls for the transmission. Something about shifter valves ceasing up. Not sure if it’s the Sam transmission you have. Just an FYI. Look into it.

Thanks. Brad.

Ours is a late year model 2024 3500 (newer grille and dash). But I will definitely look into it. I freakin love the thing so far. Can’t believe how nice it tows. And minimal ass sag too. I was worried o was gonna have to put bags on but it seems to be fine and rides great!


edit:

I just googled it and it does say the recall extends into 2024 models but I plugged my vin into the GM recall website and it doesn’t list any pending recalls. Shows a couple recalls that were addressed last year (computer issue and a trailer brake controller issue).

How much hitch drop did you have to use to level out the Devil in tow?

I used my same hitch I’ve always had but put it in the lowest setting. Thought I may have to get a different drop hitch but it’s pretty level. I think it’s a 6” drop. I’m still going to bring the truck down 3.5” and just do a leveling kit on the 35’s over this 6.5” lift. It’s still too big for my wife to drive. Difficult to see out the front, etc. and since she drives the truck daily, gotta have her comfortable in it.you can’t really tell in pics but the hood right now sits probably 5’6” tall.
