sounds like fun. sometimes more fun when it isn't yours and somebody else is paying the bills. haha

i hear ya, defiantly some work ahead but nothing i really haven't done. i told him how the ride quality will still be good especially with the setup we'll install. i've done a few cheapy? setups where they have the floating feeling, but then customer gets more money and improve things. but i think we can get it to ride good, we'll be doing the Accuair "premium" setup, i like the ride sensors used to help smooth out the ride some. i did tell him however that he lives in beautiful Oklahoma and not to forget our beautiful highways and road conditions...
