Camber plates would be for the front, you can get camber arms for the rear. The camber arms don't come with the UAS kit, only the bent toe arms.

I would wait till an Airlift set comes up, or until you can afford to buy a new kit.

Question, what would cause the air ride to be bouncy/jarring at low speeds, but relatively smooth at highway speed? Too much air in bags?

Do you have adjustable damping?

Does it only happen on certain roads? Or always at that speed?

They're expensive, and have very minimal travel.

cups are meant for TEMP height adjustment. Its not meant to ride on. They even say that as one of their disclosures. And its normally only a front application which is around $2500ish give or take.

Yeah, I know they are only temporary. If I do only the front cups, I can get it for about $450 shipped. I never really adjust the rear anyway, it sits a lot higher than the back at ride height anyway. These give about 50mm (2 inches) of adjustment. I did a "light" search, and a good amount of people use this brand.

Took my airdynamiks struts and put on the airlift struts. the airdynamiks are longer but ride lower.

to be honest, I'm not happy about this ride height with the airlift struts lol. I don't know how ya'll are doing 60PSI. I'm at 35psi, and I'm not happy with the height.

The airdnynamiks were single bellow...I was at 70psi, and fender lipped without effort.

airlift 35psi front:

Spin the lower mount of the Airlift strut closer to the bag. Then you can increase your bag pressure, or you can maintain the same bag pressure and close the gap.

Drill a hole inside your center console

I had to pull my center console to run the controller to the tray in front of the shifter. That tray had a hole directly in the center, so I just had to cut a hole in the little rubber mat. If there's no hole there you will have to drill one.
