Ultimate sd

ok. heres where I'm at. I have the funds to build the ultimate STREET sd, and want everyones input. I will build/ modify / install what the maj agree's is the ultimate STREET sd given the following. My truck is a 2000 f250 sd td 7.3 with lots of bolt on's. This truck will NEVER see deep mud, and is mainly highway posing.... 42" sumi's 22.5 alcoa's etc.. Iwant to build a low maint. high mileage cruiser that won;t kill a front hub/bearing assembly at every corner. I will do most of the leg work if ya'll lead me in the right direction. Also I will do all the improvements myself, and buy all the tools needed to complete the project. You provide the input. This can go quick if we see a definate trend. So lets see what you got......

Refreshing to see such startling honesty.

I vote for completely adjustable suspension. A truck that can be a "monsta" (pardon the pun) or a dropped streeter. Can it be done? Hmmm...Where's those airbags and on-board compressor?

Why don't you set up your gallery so that we can see exactly what "we're" starting from.

Wanted to go to air ride. Why? I have no idea excpet that I thought it'd be cool. Actually I was told that air ride was a better ride than shocks. OK. Let's start here:

Pics to be on gallery by the end of the week. I will start the project Tuesday ( 10/ 7/03 ) and start with pics and a clean gallery. One bad hub (driver's) and passenger suspect. Need to go. Truck will be susburban warrior only, but since I am planning on being in Northern Calif. by end of 2004, there is a possibility it will see snow. Also, it will be towing 35' Marlin, and probably a horse trailer. Definates to be onboard air for tools, and all around " I can help cuz it's onboard truck". Right now air is for train horns only. Other than that, if it makes sense for it's use it will be there.
