safety of laying "rocker"

[joehalford01]

So how much does this looking cool cost? More or less than..say turbo install? Or a brake upgrade?

it's not any more dollars to go the last little bit. just more labor. the brakes are getting upgraded , no turbos....

i think i'm going to get it where i want and then use bump-stops to keep it an inch off the ground at full deflation. Town is small, no worries about being "stuck" around here. But we are planning a route 66 trip and a west coast highway trip so i really really don't want to be stuck out in the middle of no mans land unable to drive at all. Thanks guys.

why not install adjustable bump stops. thay way you can lay rocker at the car shows and still be safe on the highway. seems like a very simple affair to pull off.

I still have a few titanium bone plates if you want to make sparks.

that might actually be cool, it is going to have a bone skull kinda theme.

Well they don't look like bones, they are made to repair broken bones, like surgical plates. I guess they make good sparks, sold a bunch on the HAMB.

Some parts of route 66 are pretty bad........

IMO it shouldnt matter how low it lays as long as you take the time in the install, our shop truck / daily driver has over 140,000 on it and has never blown a bag or line. if the bag or line doesnt rub on anything it will be trouble free. i would probally add a fill valve to use shop air to fill the tanks in case of a compressor dieing. the bumpstops should work well also if that is the route u choose to take.
