That's cool!! Small things like this make builds fun and are a great conversation piece.

I wanted to get some help making a decision on coil overs or stay with air ride. At his point, I have the ridetech airride shocks that came with my suspension kit. I currently don't have the air system, and now looking at possibly moving to coil overs instead.

It would be less money to order new shocks instead of an air system. It would also be less issues with installation. So I am leaning toward the coil overs.

Now the next question, whose do I choose? Stay with Ridetech, or go to like Aldan, or Speedtech? I like the Speedtech at this point, but not sure if it would work with the A-arms from RideTech.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Bill
