I am still down 2 maybe 3MPG because of the thin air.

I would slam it nearly that low but I would have to be able to get it back up to normal hight with say the flip of a switch.

The air compressor and tank is going to be for running tools, filling tires, actuating the turbo VGT and maybe air helper bags.

I maybe considering fiber glass springs off an astro van in the junk yard, the 3/4 ton springs I have weigh like 80lb each I cant see the half ton springs on there now weiging less than 50lb. I'm thinking about telling the junk yard guys to pull one off for me, but need to take some measurements first. I just happened to see them like the day before yesterday.
