Back in 2018 I had the compressor replaced on my 2014. It had a 1st revision compressor and was replaced with a 4th revision compressor. After that all had been great for 4 years, towing, hauling 1.1 Tons of cobble stone and much more. Well, this past year it started to act up again with random errors, it would and wouldn't lift or lower, Aero mode would make it freakout and drop to the bump stops so I would have to tell it to calibrate. I finally said I'm done with the really cool system and going back to coils and shocks.
This past weekend I installed my AirDelete(dot)com kit 3" front Bilstein 5100's and 1.75" rear coils with +35% weight capacity and Bilstein 5100's, I also opted for the RC upper control arms which are so much better than OEM. I have a max package Limited so she is heavy with a full tank of Gas and I pull a 7k to 8K camper with it too. When I removed the rear bags, the passenger side one sat 3" lower than the driver side bag at free rest and the rear shocks were worn-out. The ride quality hasn't diminished and feels so much better at highway speeds. Very low speeds it is a touch stiffer which I'm completely happy with, especially with the trash roads most of us have in the US. The only thing I'm not 100% on in the kit is the banner ironed on to the front coil socks. I cleaned and painted the surface rust areas with VHT epoxy paint on the frame and axle. Other than the banner on the socks, I highly recommend this kit if you are questioning whether it's worth it or not. Total time was around 6 hours taking my time with one other person helping.
