Don't get me wrong... it FEELS like I am 10 feet in the air. But as you know these things are heavy pigs. Just that feeling of the suspension completely unloading and getting that "weightless" feeling is rad.

One of these nights I will try and get someone to set up and film me hitting them and see how high it actually gets.

Oh man work has been busy! I finally picked up some of the parts for phase 3 (tank, compressors, height control, etc.)

Everything will be ¼" hard line. Already have the compressors, valves, water separator be here soon. Just need to figure out were every thing is going and make tank/s.
With harvest ending soon I hope to get this finished and definitely on the 53 Chevy more!
Question for you guys. On my link set up I ran bushings in front and super pivots on rear, both from Suicide Doors. I've only had 100% amazing products from them but I'm getting a stupid annoying squeak from the bushings and super pivots. I know they have grease, I originally did it then they added some at the dealer and I've done it once again but it wont go away. Any ideas here?

How do you just buy like a square of metal? I plan on redoing my HD front end and am going to build brackets for it. Do I just waltz into Home Depot and ask for some metal lol>?
