Re: $999 for a Dropmember
Ok, maybe this sounds rude....but I don't trust the DM...I'm not convinced it's completely safe. Nate, perhaps you'd like me to be a tester...and put the DM through some real trials....such as railing on the freeway at high speeds. Can the DM really withstand the abuse of constant railing??
I guess if I have to volunteer my time, then I'll do that for the sake of the product, Nate ![]() ![]() -Chuck |

Chuck- I am taking this as a humorous gesture of offering some more R&D for my product... making it a "win win" for the both of us! ![]() but if you are for some reason being serious: I do not, and will never advocate "railing at highway speeds". It not only jeopardizes the saftey of yourself, but all the innocent bystanders. (I could go on, but that should suffice). With that being said, I don't want to sound rude either, but if your intent is to rail your chevy at 65mph on a public road with a Dropmember... I am not interested in selling you my product.

Re: $999 for a Dropmember
wow nicely said, I assume "railing" means dragging the frame while driving?

Re: $999 for a Dropmember
Nate, for me the most important objective of bags is sitting on the ground while parked. To me, the main objective for air suspension is theft deterent

Re: $999 for a Dropmember
Nate, I'm ready and waiting for the group buy on the DM
Also, right now I only have stock arms...but if CPP or Performance Online arms won't work, then I'll have to hit up Tony@ART and use those arms ![]() I believe the other TCA's compensate for the camber, am I right?? |

I have found thru research that CPP's & POL's do use longer upper arms to correct the camber on lowered trucks vs. a bunch of shims & ART's allow for better caster.

Re: $999 for a Dropmember
Tony do you always promote safe air suspension practices? Cause I remember a romantic night in cali in front of the Hilton and you cheering some sexy guy on his dragging/driving skills.lol

Re: $999 for a Dropmember
I don't believe Tony has made such a claim here. The promoter is Nate of Porterbuilt (this is also his thread, and the topic is the $999 Dropmember), and I stand beside him in his convictions... I just replaced a broken windshield (at my expense) because some douchebag in front of me dumped the back of his truck to the ground and kicked up a fistful of road gravel. I hope he enjoyed his railing and my $360.

Re: $999 for a Dropmember
Because on other forms people have signitures and those three pics are my signiture and i see people dont do that on here i guess. Kind of makes it more personal.
