Built a camper over the last few weeks. Got it on the truck and looks pretty good! I still need to do the interior and canvas for the pop top so no pics of that yet.

Waiting to be installed hahawheres the door....
I was thinking maybe you just get in through the cab? Very curious about this project!Waiting to be installed haha
Were the internals on your passenger side significantly cleaner than the driver's side? Seems these like to run hotter on driver's side...Replaced the valve cover gaskets. Broke a bolt on the driver's side so that took the most time to resolve. View attachment 3895445View attachment 3895446
Everything on the driver's side seems to be affected by higher heat since the airflow isn't good.Were the internals on your passenger side significantly cleaner than the driver's side? Seems these like to run hotter on driver's side...
I love it!It’s finally the best I can do right now is just cut the exhaust where I did. It’s gonna be a real octopus to come over the spring and then down under the fender for the exit. And I put the springs one more inch up and now it just looks sick. It’s absolutely perfect the way I wanted it to look. I know it’s low but man it’s so much nicer for hauling stuff. Load of lumber tomorrow and mulch later this week.
Highly recommend the SOS kits. Lowering kit and airbag kit.

I don't need to adjust on the fly - just want to be able to adjust height without having to do a full suspension tear down. I don't even have a compressor for my air bags. I just use a bicycle hand pump to adjust when I'm hauling heavy stuff or towing heavier trailers. I think the leaf spring plus airbags is a nice balance. It just does everything pretty well. And it's simple and reliable. If the airbag goes flat - you're still fine to get where you need to go. That's what I have now on the back end, but at stock height. And my truck is 99% highway miles - the main reason I want to keep the ride height low. It's just better for what I do. I'd just like to have the ability to raise it up for a few trips a year in the front like you can do with the back because I do go offroad occasionally and then I could have the normal ride height low instead of having it sit taller 99% of the time for the 1% of time I need the clearance. That's really all I'm looking for.I like simple. Adjusting on the fly just isn’t worth it to me. That being said, if I were you I’d go find a desert runner and see what they have. I have SumoSprings in front of my 60 Land Cruiser instead of bump stops but leaf springs. 80 Series have airbag within coils option.
Today I hauled a dozen sheets of steel roofing loaded over a bunch of lumber. The tailgate is low enough now that I can easily step onto the bumper in the corner and lean over and pull the rest out. Super happy with ride height.
I think something like that might work. It wouldn't be very expensive to try it out and see. Back of the envelop math says I'd need about 60psi to get 1 inch of lift out of the truck. I'm not sure how much pressure they'll take. I'd also want to make sure I'm not degrading the ride quality.If you put Sumo Springs under the bumpstops in front and then added that 2” airbag thing you’d get minor upper adjustment for occasional off road. Seriously if you only off road occasionally then just go slower. That’s what I do.
