MD, I have a set of Firestones. i think the compressor is a rich-man's add-on. I have a portable air tank. due to the small volume, it takes a short blast from the tank to air them up.

Other than levelling out, no noticeable difference to me. the suspension guy was trying hard to convince me to add another leaf spring instead of the bags. bear in mind, I have a dually.
wow, you guys must have pretty weak impaired lawyers down there, or some kind of air-tight laws. I met one lawyer who had been doing impaired defences for 20-25 years. he hadn't lost an impaired or over .08 trial yet (altho he had lost refusal to blow trials). but then, the legal system seems to have a way of buttering itself. the judges are all ex-lawyers. so maybe up here in socialism land, the system is easier on the guilty? but I thot you guys had it kinda the same way? how did OJ get off when his blood was found at the scene of the crime?? that's a slam dunk in pretty much any country! what a circus that whole thing was.

DUI's usually are reduced to 1st degree neglegent driving or wreckless... if they are under 0.15... But we have a kicker system where you are prosecuted under seperate venue by the DOL. they don't care what was goin on. they just want to suspend your liscense. and thats not fair.. you do not recieve due process with them.

we sorta have a similar thing OFC. The governing body says driving is a "privilege", not a right, so even a charge results in an automatic 30 day DL suspension. so much for the concept of innocent until proven guilty.

Not really sure they are a retrofit thing. Though maybe if you found a good mechanic and a wrecked truck... Guys have afterall dropped in Cummins ISBs into Ford SDs.

Good morning all [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
Been busy lately and trying to get in some last minute golf rounds before I go back to work [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] Been nice having time off but looking for a job ain't a fun process. Funny thing is, when you finally accept an offer, everyone else starts calling you wanting you to go to work for them. Go figure............
In Dallas all this wek for training but at least the weather is nice here, for now [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
