YAY! Got my Airbag fittings!

Came in a small package, opened 'em up. WOW! I can't believe how easy those compression fittings are! As soon as my SD Brackets come in, it's gonna take me all of 10 minutes to get my airbags on, and be laying frame.
BTW: Rolf, how long did it take your brackets to come? It's been a week as of tommorow.

You mean laying A-arms?

Congrats on getting your parts. I still think you should pick up a tank and go ahead and route your lines to the tank.....

It's gonna take longer than 10 minutes trust me. Don't forget you're gonna have to possibly raise your exhaust crossover.

Maybe he meant that he would be "laying exhaust" after 10 minutes.

What exhaust crossover? I have dual exhaust. I was joking about laying frame...for now...cuz I have long tube headers. Once I switch over to the 3/4 length's though, it'll be time to lay rocker!

Uhm... took me about 1 1/2 weeks or so. And you wont be laying rocker without a shortened xmember up front

Oh and you REALLY wont be laying frame without the rear going down too

Start saving up for that tank and compressor! How much were your fittings and where did you get em from. Im getting some new tools for my bday and prolly the fittings and tanks too. Then its solenoids and compressor and im set. Im gonna have Jason fab me up a custom Gauge/Switch panel that goes in the dash where the center vent is for the AC.

Hmm, ok, so they should be here any day now. I know I won't be laying anything, I just like to BS with you guys. I got my hose/fittings from www.hosesandfittings.com. I paid $14 for 14' of 3/8" tube and 4 compression fittings, with $7 to ship the stuff.

Dude, all of this talk of bagging stuff really makes me want to get another truck to screw around with. I have been lifting trucks for 12 years now. I am really thinking about building a street truck soon. Probably a 94-98 Ext Cab SWB... No body drop, don't want to go that far, but laying frame would be sweet.

Id be willing to bet the exhaust will be laying in the street after he catches the headers on something!!
