I think my truck has ended up being more "hot rod/muscle truck" than a slammed layed out truck that actually "needs" air ride to get off the ground and drive.


Anyone else ever consider doing this?
69chevyshort – What you do with your suspension depends on what you plan to do with the truck in the long run. Our philosophy in designing our C10 Total Vehicle System was to build a bolt-on kit that gives the truck a really cool ride stance, a comfy and usable ride, sports car handling and total adjustability. The design was inspired by Stock Car technology, and has already been proven to work really well on the street, drag strip and autocross. Overall, though, the main goal is that it works REALLY well for high performance street driving.
