Very well said Longhorn Man!!!!

**kev2809** · 01-05-2010, 12:49 AM

well everyone has their own opinion..can't argue that.

but I will always call a suburban, tahoe...an suv.
a van....a van.
and anything with an open bed....a truck.

I'm all for keeping it completely original...I can sit there and appreciate one all day just like I would a bagged one. add em up and I bet the totals are gonna be similar. and as far as bagged suspension..its used on many sport cars and trucks for better handling all the time.

thx alot Andy, you realize I'll never live it down if I show him your post!

I used to have a problem with air ride, thinking it was Pro-Faiground... but then I looked into it and realized the benifits. The only 2 drawbacks, are cost, and they require some parts thrown at them from time to time.
Every single one of us has voiced our dislike for someone's project at one ttime or another. Like I said, I am guilty of it too. But, it helps to get educated on the subject.
A comment like "I think a burb laying on its frame with the bags aired out looks retarded"... at least that would be 100% opinion and not a misunderstood system with many benifits.

Anyone that was at sema know what the door handles were coated in? anodized, powder coated, or black chrome?? anyone? I am wondering if the bottom on the handle will wear off? cause that would suck!

It's running Dropmembers Front and Rear. A shop called Demented Customs out of New Mexico did the build.

They looked as if they were powder coated semi-gloss black.

Cumminpwr11 · 01-19-2010, 09:35 PM

My man Steve!!! thank you, now its off to the powdercoater!!!

**kev2809** · 01-19-2010, 10:29 PM

would pushing the door button in all the time to open the door cause it to flake off at all?

Cumminpwr11 · 01-19-2010, 10:54 PM

I hope not or I will have to get another set and black chrome them. I like the flat look better than the shiny.

**kev2809** · 01-19-2010, 10:56 PM

how do you black chrome them?

Cumminpwr11 · 01-20-2010, 12:07 AM
