I bobbed my last truck with air ride from a freightliner. This build ,I am using front deuce springs from a truck that was parted out ,and axle hardware from black rock.. Any advice appreciated regarding this application. I.E. Things you liked or disliked ?, things you would do different?, I am assuming shackles to the rear?

We used front springs and cut the stock bed/frame down 3'. We used unmodified spring perches. Stock ride height, duals on the rear, G177s. Definitely install shocks - we haven't done that yet. I felt a lot of bouncing on the rear at low speed and passed over a RR track and thought I was going to lose the rear end.
