i am looking at their stuff and it doesn't seem all that expensive. i dont know if it is strong enough for what i want to do but the price doesn't seem that bad. how did you get to $6k? their rear 4 link kit with the shockwave shocks and panhard bar is $1250.

I've seen Turbo8's seats they are very nice looking..
Let me know when you get that fuel cell. I'll take the dual fuel pump set-up off your hands.....

Thanks, I weighed my stock seats, they came out to 55lbs each. I weighed my aftermarket seats and they where 26lbs. My stock seats where manual, no power.

Hey, where did you find the 4 link air bar setup for $1250? I seen it for $1400. I was planing on trying that setup as well. I was going to manually air it up, I am not going to buy the air pumps, valves and tanks for another $2000. I wouldn't want the weight etheir.

It was the rear weld in 4 link kit, fronts including shockwaves, compressor, controller, lines, etc. Mine is still a "daily driver" so I wanted the compressor lol That's what drove the price up as I recall.

ok, i decided i dont have enough cash to jump into too many things at once. i am going to make some qa1 front coil overs work on the truck and just dump the tortion bars and cross over. that wont cost much and will dump 50+lbs off the truck. it will also give me adjusable shocks. probably keep the street truck theme and go with the big mt drag radials and stock style suspension in the rear.

i am going to go pull the tortion bars right now and see what they weigh and get some measurements for coil overs.
