Re: 1970 project/ DD "instant death"
All the drive ways are too steep, I'm still on a schrader so I don't mess with the air unless its going to be sitting for a while.
The rear is about 4" off the ground, low + longbed = no bueno for drive ways Unless I plan on redoing my roll pan every day lol Posted via Mobile Device

Re: 1970 project/ DD "instant death"
I grew up around hydrostatic and airbags so its in the blood
It's more of a curse lol I can't avoid it And it's kinda one of those things When you start to go lower it just gets closer and closer to the ground Posted via Mobile Device
