Radio; the instructions with my ride rites say you only need to let the air out before raising the truck by frame lift. You do not have to unbolt.

Mine are from Summit as well.
As far as the install goes its really easy. Took about an hour and 15 minutes in the driveway. Didn't even have to jack the truck off the ground.

Did them on the street (driveway has incline). Jacked some for extra clearance in putting them in, had to loosen spring u-bolts and tap one direction just a hair and retighten. Not difficult to install, just take your time, and read and follow the directions.

mine went in easy as all report... with one exception.
I wanted to fill air from one place and have the bags balanced all the time so I went to an autoparts store and bought a Tee fitting. They gave me a brass compression style fitting and for the life of me I can't get it to stop leaking.
For those who Tee'd their air lines - what kind of fitting did you use? I'm stopping at a few stores on the way home tonight to look for something other than the compression fitting.
...also - are those push-in fittings on the airbags themselves reliable and re-usable? They seem to be working just fine (though how would I know for sure until the big leak is plugged...  )

The push in fittings on the bags seem to be holding fine- during my install I accidentally popped one out when I was trying to rotate it, I thought I broke it, but I took the hard plastic hose out and reinserted the connector, put the hard plastic hose back in, and it's holding just fine.
