Its gonna happen....

[lowriderbowtie]

...front end is gettin aired out very quickly. I have a show on July 17th and i need to have something to get peoples attention.
Ive had a little extra cash hiding in my bank...so i figured i better get it outa there (because what mini-trucker has money in the bank?? The truck sucks it up)

Ill keep this thread updated with info, pics, and installation over the next couple months.



note: my 5" drop up front is wayyyy to hard for me to drive in. i cant even stick a finger between the frame and the LCA.

sounds awesome, how much did it all cost you? Personally, if I were to airbag my truck, I would have gone the simplest route possible: air ride technologies' shockwave air bags, they got built-in shocks so you don't have to relocate the shocks, of course they cost $850-900 for the pair alone. Then, I would go with the ridepro e compressor system with the 3 gallon tank(cheapest system that is 4-way) but I would buy the viair compressor separately.

$594.94 american before shipping for all the parts listed above....so im thinking its gonna work out to be about 800-1000 cdn after the shipping/exchange and everything. They are going to get ahold of me shortly regarding my final cost. Still alot cheaper than some of the places around here. One place in Vancouver said $1400 before tax/shipping and that wasnt even with the parts that i wanted....just the parts that they carried!

Sounds like you got a pretty good deal to me. You will be very happy with those parts they are the same ones I had on my truck but I had a viair 380. If you need any advice on the install just pm me.

[lowriderbowtie]

Ya i think it was a great deal...should be a fun install!! Time to change things up, Ive done atleast a dozen static installs, so bags should be a good change!

werd up dood. bag that bish. yeah i was gonna ask ya how you drove that thing so low with a 5 inch drop in the front.

[lowriderbowtie]

My shipment is just clearing customs today. any day now and it will be in my HANDS!!!!

and i cant drive it the way it is...so much construction going on, it scrapes on so much you wouldnt beleive it. it wasnt to bad untill i put the little 215/40's then that was it. just a driveway ornament now

[Minitrucker4lyfe]
