[QUOTE="Nickshu, post: 1382053, member: 33806"] So I started this project yesterday on my 2019. The space on the updated 2019's suspension is definitely tighter than on the photos posted previously on this thread (on 2017/18 models), but everything does fit. The frame appears to be much thicker here than on the previous models with a few reinforcement plates welded in place here that do not appear to be on the earlier model photos (2017/18) posted in this thread. I had to grind down the welds on these plates on the frame a bit so they would allow the angle iron to sit flat. I also had to cut the corners off of the upper airbag mounts to get them to clear the underside of the bed, but once that was done everything fit perfectly. I used 1/4" thick angle iron and used my plasma cutter to cut out the center where the bulge is in the frame. Then I jigged everything up in place and marked it as you see in the photos. I dropped the brackets and angle iron off at a local fabricator this AM to be welded in place. I have a welder but my welding skills are not the greatest, and my small home MIG maxes out at 1/4" so I didn't want to do it at home. These are the same airbags and centering cups listed on page 9 of this thread by the OP. I did buy the "upgraded" stainless steel hardware kit from Airlift. I will be installing the Airlift Wireless One compressor with the EZ mount bracket on the right frame rail. Will post more pics as the project continues.
