So with this fitment are you completely aired out in those pics? This is the exact look I want when I start going to car shows next year.

Yeah, I'm completely aired out. You have to very slightly roll the fenders in the rear. You also need to pull the fenders in the front. Just airing out will pull them for you.

So if I were to just roll all my fenders and air out every night it'll eventually just pull out the front where I want them? Would it make a difference if I went 18x8.5 in front just to try and get the fender to lay over the wheel?

What I did to get my front where it is was to just put my new wheels on, then air out. The fender will pull itself. The front fenders are already rolled from factory.

That makes sense. We're you able to sell your stock rims and tires when you got your new ones?

When you put your airlift kit on how long did it take you? Did you have friends to help?

I have had my Airlift struts and Ridetech airpod management for over 3 years. No issues. Yes i am a show queen and i don't race or track the car. People that bag on the airride system are either uninformed or to cheap to pull the system off. Yes you can get coils for half the price but you cant air up over a speed bump and lower back down in 5 seconds. Also getting an alignment done at your ride height is advisable so you don't wear the tires but just like any other system after time your alignment will need to readjusted. I know guys with coils that readjust their alignment every year because tracking and racing the car will cause it to unaligned as well.

I don't really know the exact total time. But whatever you do, TAKE YOUR TIME. I put the struts in around 40 minutes, about 30 to run airlines and wires, 30 minutes to mount the tank, 60 min to tidy everything up. I did the whole install by myself. I was 17 when I installed it, so if I can do it, I know you can lol.
