  1. Purchased the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Spring Kit from Amazon. Had it professionally installed on a 2010 Dodge Ram yesterday. Can't tell it's there while driving around at the recommended 5psi. Haven't towed the boat with it yet. About $615 purchased and installed. 145035b895449d825de6e6c5da9dfaf4.jpg517f691274b6a018a75521e3442e0a7d.jpg

  2. Does anyone have any experience adding an aftermarket Air Lift or Rider Right air helper system to the rear suspension of a truck?  I am thinking about buying a bigger boat and I am interested in potentially putting an air helper system in the rear coil springs to prevent rear-end sag and help with towing.  The truck currently does NOT have onboard air.  Looks like you can spend $100 for just two bags, $500 for two bags with more capacity and stainless hardware or $850 for a kit with onboard air and a wireless controller. 

    I only plan on keeping the truck for another two years.    

  3. Anyone have experience with repairing a flex spot in an aluminum deck? It's inaccessible from underneath. It flexes and "pops" when you step on it. Scares my pet redfish away. Right behind the trolling motor too.

    I have a local shop that'll weld on aluminum. I just need to know what to tell those boys to do. Weld another piece on top of it? Something else?

    Bigshark, here’s my boat barn. 60x40 with 14 foot doors. Still trying to decide what to buy to fill out the last bay since the other 2 are full at this point.

    That's awesome.  I will post pics of mine once it gets built.  Never built anything before so time will tell if I regret undertaking this project.

    How much did the power pole micro run? That’s slick-  install easily? 

    I used a 20% coupon code from the gun owners thread at Academy online.  Got the drive unit for $473 delivered.  Then I ordered a $80 spike from Austin Kayak.  PP has a rebate going of up to $100 for micro spikes if you purchase a drive unit and spike within 180 days of each other.  I applied for the rebate and we'll see how that goes.  

     

    Install was of medium difficulty.  5200 got broken out and shit got messy.  

  6. Tapa is back working I guess.

    Mentioned up-thread that I am slumming it on a duck boat redfishing while I transition from a flats boat to a bay boat...

    I got a 24x36 boat barn on order for both sleds. Gonna look like this but with 12' doors.
