drop member parts list
Hey Guys. I would like to put together a parts and price list together for purchasing a "drop member" as well as necessary parts like airbags, compressor, everything else.
I would like to eventually drop the front and then the rear, and just want to know what kinda money I need to get together in order to do this! Also, what airbags should I get, where do I go to purchase these? Thank you guys for your time I'm thinking I'll need drop-member tubular arms |

Re: drop member parts list
I would run Slam Specialties RE7 bags up front, you can get those from Nate, too. You will also need a rack and associated steering parts as well like the u joints for the steering shaft.
Nate is supposed to call me and go over the list this week (I hope). I am going to use a manual rack for ease of use, I am also running stock arms and spindles because I won't be using a huge tire/wheel combo (about 28" tire diameter). As far as compressor and management, that is all up to you. You can go manual fill low budget or all the way up to something like the eLevel systems that have presets and auto adjust. Just depends on what you want and how much money you want to throw at it.

Re: drop member parts list
All that is needed is the dropmember kit, rack, steering shaft, and bags. You can also use tubular arms and drop spindles if you want to get WAY down.

Re: drop member parts list
Might consider the SS7's as they don't balloon out as much... not that there's anything wrong with the RE7's.
