Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Thanks for the kind words.

I also appreciate SCOTI stepping in to help with questions in the suspension section.
He has a world of knowledge in that head of his.
Not many know this stuff, without looking it up!

Re: Thank you lolife99

Nice truck!

And thanks to lolife and SCOTI for all the tips. It is the best resource I have found. My truck is now bagged with a PB stage 1 front kit, and a PB c-notch. Thinking about eLevel for Christmas!

I like the Accuair over the eLevel. My buddy Chris from Chicken City Hotrods is a dealer and I'm sure he will hook you up on a set up.
