Here's a side photo from S&B's facebook page. It shows the 1" spacers on the OEM skid plate. Better photo than I got.

I'll take a picture this evening. That hang-down was my only complaint about the Titan. It was 2.5 inches lower than factory and a real eye-sore. I was always worried when I got off road. This S&B went up instead of down. It hangs down 3/4 inch lower. If you have a skid plate they give you 1...
S&B is making extended range fuel tanks now. Titan finally has some competition. I installed one a few weeks ago and documented the process.

Good question. I don't know the spring specs but that brings up the age-old problem. Stiffer springs handle big bumps but are harsh on normal stuff. Soft springs are nice on streets but brutal on tougher surfaces.
Agreed. When the bump stops are called on in any significant way, it's game over for the shocks. So whether the shocks are crappy or awesome, if it gets to that point, and there's more energy to absorb, the data will look exactly the same.
No problem. Thanks. We must be careful using the word "Science" to describe the approach though, lol. The more I thought about it the numbers of variables just increased and increased. This was sort-of science.
I installed an Air Lift airbag system on my truck a couple of weeks ago and made a video of it. For anyone interested:

I'll watch for that. It is a valve after all and it will eventually leak. Maybe years from now but it will leak. I still have the drain plug on the top shelf of the tool box and it will be waiting.
