Hey Al,

First off, great truck. I love it. Followed your build since you posted.

So I am about to start mine and my question is about your air ride. You only have 1 3 gallon tank with one compressor? Does it work well for the truck? Does it take for ever to adjust or come to ride height? I am planning to do the same and mount it in a similar fashion as yours and the 3 gallon is the biggest that can fit where I want it.

Thanks!

From full aired out it airs up to ride height in about ten seconds then the compressor turns on for about two minutes to fill the tank to 150 pounds. It works flawless for what I need. Thanks for the compliment!!!!!

Went in the garage this morning to drive sylvester to the dealership this morning, out comes my wife to the garage and says "Wait, you can't take the truck" i asked why not?
she says because the bed of the truck is full of gits and I dont want to have to take them out. Of course I open the bed cover and I dont know if I was happy or ready to cry, because the complete bed is full of gifts.

Cry?

you ask because I am not looking forward to our american express bill next month...

however,

Merry christmas to all!!!!!!!!!!!

Of course I drove my demo to work instead!!
