thanks bud, but i have no time limit on this thing, a small budget and would rather learn the hard way. i know it sounds hard headed, but i think you learn more by learning "a thousand ways not to build the light bulb"

Damien's Xtreme Concepts... aka DXC

The hack jobs is part of the reason I sold my truck... I didn't want to be part of it anymore... I kept seein peoples' shit fall apart and wreck... Plus I have a 14 month old... Bagged minis aren't exactly the safest thing for a kid... Plus I didn't wanna take the chance of being stuck somewhere w/ a blown air line or a frozen valve...

Learning the hard way could cost you a lot when it comes to this kind of shit...

ive owned many a bagged vehicle...from my 69 lincoln to s10s,caddys,impalas...etc..

as long as they are done correctly i beleive they are safer and more reliable than stock suspension...

the only issue i ever had was a dump valve sticking...four phillip head screws and cleaned it and that was all it took..

and your a fool if you dont take 20 foot of airline and an couple fittings with you on a road trip

I carried a toolbox full of misc. stuff in the back of my s10 when it was bagged...

The one thing I loved bout havin adj. susp. on my s10 was I could jack that bitch up when I needed to for turning radius or to get over something... I did my fair share of draggin as well...

Since I got the Honda its been eatin at me to do another mini... errrrrr

It could be a mistake you won't have the chance to make again if you get what I'm saying...
