Rep Power: 220 | yes the Splash has I-beam suspension. ive already got 4" lowered I-beams up front. as far as camber goes, Ranger's have wicked negative camber when lowered. theres not much that will help it unless i keep it at one height all the time. the 9 switches is correct. im going to be able to do front, back and side to side with it. i will also be able to control how much air is in each individual bag. |

Rep Power: 37 | Yeah, get as many switches as you can stand to have. You'd regret not getting them. Nice choice on the bags/compresser. Any ideas where you'll mount the gauges? Got pillar/dash pods already? My boss cant wait to finish his S-10. Its taken apart right now, getting the frame powdercoated this week (I think he settled on black chrome). |

[/b][/quote] I have a friend with ONE OLD ASS compressor running a Chevy 3500 Quad Cab Dually... Takes 5 minutes for the compressor to fill up enough just to lift the truck... LOL ! And I know AirRide makes a bolt on kit for the s10's, and even a bolt in C Notch that won't require any welding...

[/b][/quote] the place i got my kit from is actually a pretty badass place that has EXCELLENT quality stuff. just about every minitrucker i know has something from suicidedoors.com on their truck. the "kit" i ordered was all stuff that i picked out individually and is called a "custom kit" or something along those lines. anyways, the guys at suicidedoors.com are really knowledgeable and will help you out with whatever you need. oh and they make all their frame notches, bag mounts..etc in house.
