2 quick questions...
1) can you divulge as to how much guiltybydesign charged you... I have heard some good word on this guy, plus he's like 4 hours from here...
2) In your opinion, is the cantilever suspension a better ride than say bag over axle or bag behind axle...
just wanting to know, too many ideas in my lil head... :-)

I know you're asking Doug, but for the 2nd question the ride quality is all gonna depend on what you use. A bag over/behind axle can ride just as well or even better than a canti setup depending on bag type/placement. Alex, the guy in our chapter with the black ext cab Mazda, has the F9000 sleeve bags mounted over the axle. My truck has some Slam RE-7's mounted in a lever, which will ride about the same as a canti. The ride quality on the two is about equal. But I would say Alex's rides a bit better only because we set my lever up at such a high ratio, 2.3:1, that it's almost too soft of a ride. Both trucks are the best riding bagged vehicles I've ever ridden in. I can't comment on Doug's canti because I haven't been in it yet, and it's the first cylinder setup I've even seen in person.

Yea, I'm sure your's rides great too Frank. Most levers will. I just hate the ppl who are throwing RE-7's and RE-8s over axle and think it's the best ride ever. RE-7s have too high of a weight rating to be mounted like that and ride smoothly. And the only reason they get a decent ride out of the RE-8's is because their weight rating is even higher and they can ride with almost no air in the bag, like 10psi. That just masks the ride quality problem. Which is different than a setup that actually rides good, lol.

woot..finally finished shaving my tails and fixed the roll pan. I only welded the fillers in like a year ago I still have a couple spots to fix, but they're pretty much done. First layer of primer/surfacer is on.. and a quick clip of the new exhaust A couple Borlas off a new Vette in place of the glaspacks. Thanks Peter! www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4nkSXdQQrA
