Re: Hazel the older Sister....
I hope you don't mind, I took a few photos from the Good Guys Lone Star nats. I was able to look over it pretty well on Friday. Your attention to detail is amazing. The truck is definitely something to look at.

Re: Hazel the older Sister....
Just got back from a 50 mile shake down (still working the bugs out) and all I can say is wow! This thing rides unbelievable, I started off right at 4-5 inches off the ground and once I got on the hwy I dropped it down to about 2-3 and it rode great at both heights. When I got on the side streets I had to raise it up a little to keep from smacking the ground but all in all it rides better than my 05 Crew cab! Now I need to tighten everything back up and see if I can get some of those rattles fixed!

Re: Hazel the older Sister....
It handles really good and has a really solid feel to it, Nathan really did his homework!
Posted via Mobile Device[/QUOTE] Keith, I have lots of questions on the handling but I'll limit them down. What would you compare the handling to? Does it handle as well as a sporty car? Do you have sway bars on it? Would you be comfortable throwing it into corners? I want the best of both worlds and I've talked to Nate lots and went with the Dropmember C4 to get better handling but I've never really talked to anyone that has driven a dropmembered truck IRL. I know you haven't driven it much but anything you have to say would be helpful. Thanks, Jim

I know you haven't driven it much but anything you have to say would be helpful. Thanks, Jim[/QUOTE] I'll try and answer a few: -What would you compare the handling to? I've had 10 or so bagged cars and trucks and this one by far is the best riding and handling out of the bunch. Normally when I drive one of my bagged trucks I would ease around the corners to limit the body roll on this one after the first few turns I forgot I was in a bagged vehicle and drove it like I normally drive my 05 GMC. -Do you have sway bars on it? Yes I have Nates front sway bar, no rear bar. -Would you be comfortable throwing it into corners? After I get all the little bugs worked out and find the right settings with the bags I wouldn't have a problem laying into some corners. Today I mainly focused on how low can I drive it without tearing anything up so the air pressure was low. My next project might get coilovers Hope this helps you.....

Re: Hazel the older Sister....
It does. I appreciate you taking the time to answer them.
I won't be quite as low as you and I'll be running front adjustable shockwaves and rear billet adj shocks with tapered sleeves so I can probably adjust it stiffer for better handling. I'll also probably run a fat front sway bar and some kind of rear bar...somewhere, somehow. Thanks again.
