The great thing about this for me is I already have all of my C5 front and rear control arms and all four spindles. Just needed a frame. I was gonna do something custom, but now since Scott is coming out with something, it's a done deal. Let's go!!!!!! That rendering is nasty.

We're on it,,,, drop me an e-mail at [email protected] and we'll chat a little more...

LOL indeed.... I think the issue of common sense and expectations need apply here though..... We've spoken to Ride Tech's own Bret Volkel and he and I both agree that an air suspension would serve well in a towing required application... Now that doesn't mean your going to go out and buy a 26-28 foot enclosed trailer, load it all up with a heavy car,,, and all the weekends goodies and expect to haul it with a sort wheel base IRS truck either.... Personally I wouldn't tow that kind of a load with a sort bed truck with a solid axle setup either for that matter but I would however consider towing an open trailer with an F-body as an example...

Anyways, we're still doing do diligence on the matter of towing and will share our thoughts as we get the results in... I have called on an old friend and Corvette expert Chris Petris to speak to him about his own idiosyncrasies on the C-5 IRS and the intended application....

The towing spec for the Dodge SRT-10 Viper powered pick up with IRS..... was about ZERO (7,500 #'s) and it's bed load was something equally ridiculous like 1150 pounds.


That was an awesome SHORT bed truck -- but it was made for just about anything OTHER THAN towing.

Greg, that was a rare Dodge truck with an IRS.

Albert and Scott, I am really looking forward to seeing this come together.
