    front suspension mods AKA - ride improvement mods AKA - butt happiness mods

    First you need to weight the front axle empty. Then you take it to a truck spring shop that does work on class 8 trucks and they can do the conversion for you correctly. The front springs can be redesigned several ways. The firs way is to soften them and let the air bags carry the extra load...

    I you people want to endanger the lives of the other people on the road as well as yours then this hobby is doomed. A broken leaf Spring can pop out and go through someone else's windshield killing a person in the car, it can also shred tires, air lines or worse. I have seen a lot of crazy...

    M101A3 mods for Jeep/off road

    Personally I prefer the hydraulic brakes. Properly working surge brakes are great. On a surplus, or any used, trailer the brakes, bearings and suspension need to be serviced. The surge brake actuator can suffer from several issues. First check it for physical damage such as being bent...

    Deuce Aux 250 gal. fuel tank

    It works great You add a second large valve stem to each rim so that the air is at the top and the fuel is at the bottom. The air is used to force the fuel out. The fuel flows through the large valve without any issues. Grounds? Tires are great insulators but the mount will ground the rim...

    What Air Ride seat base ?

    There are low profile air ride seat bases made for the medium duty trucks that are about 3" or 4" tall. They are pricey but I have a few extras that might be available
