Several reasons, first, I didn't want to relocate the tank. This is supossed to be a fairly simple build for my daily driver. Second is that I will be towing with it still. All the old timers around me keep telling me how I fkd up my truck so it's gonna be great when I pull a trailer around with it and make them change their minds. haha. I would love to have done over the bar for the lift but I get mad lift with over the axle and it actually rides very nice with about 120 psi in the rear, of course a lot smoother with only about 40 psi but still nicer than stock suspension.

Thanks man. The stuff on the rear cross member is for the fuel system. I can disconnect the hoses going to it but I can't disconnect the wiring harness going to it or my check eng light comes on. So it has to stay. haha

Ahh cool yea if your going to tow then that's the best or you could have done behind and under little smoother less lift I don't really look for the lift I look for the ride u know

Yeah, I care more about the ride quality than the lift as well, this beast actually rides very smooth even at full lift. My mazda rides like a brick at full lift. I also went with the over axle setup to keep as much bed space as possible. There's not much of a bed there anyway but I want to use this truck for everything still. We drive to Hempstead a lot, that is a 2.5 hr trip 1 way and we go like every other weekend so I need as much space for all our stuff. haha

No, only the F150. The mazda can't even move right now. I found where it was leaking air, tried to tighten the valve and it blew off the tank. About 100 psi to the face! Scared the shit out of me, especially because I was under the truck. Whoever swapped the 83 from manual valves to electric valves and from nitrogen to compressors never installed water seperators and neither did I so over a long enough time, rust will eat your shit up! hahaha Just gotta get a new tank and valves, and airline etc. etc. etc. so she will be down until she is completely rebuilt the way I want her.
