no, its made intention is for vehicles that tow or haul and the rear end sags, its to level that sag out. my desire was the same but i also want a stiffer ride for a little better handling. the air bags go inside your springs to assist the suspension.

merry christmas. it's still a simple install that can be done with very basic hand tools.

the instructions will say to install the air lines separate from left to right. i recommend combining the two air lines at a T junction, then routing a single air line to your schrader valve.

there's really no point in running 2 separate air circuits.

They supplied the stuff for it to tie into one line. Its really pointless to have two lines unless you have a utility truck or something with one side heavier. Im sure i can get it done, this is just a new area for me. A learning experience

So i got it all put in. It wS fairly easy with two others help. I ran them into one line as suggested but i found the body roll was horrible. Like my sisters explorer. It scared me. And i realized when i took a turn the air pushed out of the side getting the roll, and moving to the other side to help pick that side up. So i ran them on separate lines. I love it. Yesterday was the first dry day in a while so i got to get some speed up the mountain...handles amazing.
