Went out to the slab today to test the air bumps... all I can say is that they are worth every penny! Paired with a good shock it's amazing how good a leaf sprung truck rides. Did some high speed runs and was amazed at how well it did. You get to those spots where you think there is going to be a hard hit it just kind of floats over it.
I did have one small issue... hit the first good jump, turned around and my truck died... then smoke started coming out from the hood. My tarp rubber didn't hold my battery down good enough and went into the hood. Luckily no fire and it landed on the brace so it didn't even bubble the paint. So I made a new battery box this afternoon.

And a few poser shots.

I wish we would have got the last one recorded. There was a truck parked next to the jump and I hit it so much faster.... it's pretty cool watching everything on your dash float.
