Got 2" drop shackles in rear. Axle was sitting about 2" from the bump stops. I hit them a few times on the way back from OK City. Otherwise she rode smoother than stock!

I recently brought home some new furniture, went and picked it up and the guys on the loading dock said I was gonna need to make 2 trips. I told them just bring the stuff and I'll load it. All in one load (roush suspension as well, drove fine still) :tu:

I would have never thought those wheels would look good with SB. I was wrong. :tu:

They are mini-bulk CO2 (carbon dioxide) containers holding 300-450lbs of CO2. They are installed at places that have a soda fountain (restaurants, bars, convienence stores). They take the place of the small change out cylinders and are filled from a tanker truck thru a fitting on the outside wall. Customer never has to worry about running out of product and having flat soda.

I have to go to Ok City to get them from a drop point up there since our main office is in Memphis.

Yep, Got tons of compliments and looks at L-fest. If you look real close in my gallery pics you can see small blue lightning bolt graphics I put on the dished area of each spoke. Some ppl like and some didnt but I think they are a nice subtle touch that sets the wheels off.

I imagine you will see several trucks with colored wheels at next years L-fest.

There are actually 3 tanks. I am going with a 3-stage 400shot NOS system. :banana: Anyone wanna give me a loan so I can get these filled? They hold 300lbs of product!!!

I was also thinking with all that weight in the back I should be able to hook up really well and get a nice weight transfer, maybe even pull both front wheels off the ground!

Does this mean I need wheelie bars????
