Are you talking about the brand in general? Or this product line? https://www.airliftperformance.com/product-lines/performance-air-suspension/ because this seems very convincing.

You would be better off with good handling coilovers.

No love for the Tubdra huh?

Nah, that's just a bubble truck that breaks down.

I don't know. i wanna combine looks and performance. plus, i don't think this car's gonna see a track in its life.

[terrytek]

i feel like i'm the only one who would gladly take a japanese truck over an american truck.

If you want to stance, stancing is a dumb fad that will die off like neon underglow and park bench spoilers.

Stancing isn't dumb. I think of it as a lifestyle.

You're not.

Stancing defeats the purpose of a car..

[terrytek]

You're not.

on this community here. but who else?

no it doesn't.

I think Trik might prefer a non-American truck. And yes, stancing does defeat the purpose of a car. It's meant to be a safe and regulated mode of transportation that won't kill you. Stancing is the opposite of that.

Stancing a car doesn't mean it's trying to kill you.

[terrytek]

i feel like i shouldn't be in this community if i can't express my love for stanced cars. every time i mention stanced cars, everybody bashes me. i don't feel loved

[AlwaysFSX]

Anyone know where I can find a 03-04 Cobra IRS kit or specs for creation?

Well the suspension is there to soak up the road bumps so the car is stable. Most stanced cars don't exactly do that well. It's obviously possible to do it, most people just cheap out on how they do it and just slam cars and add camber without thinking about what they're doing. Stancing itself isn't "bad," it's how it's most commonly done that is.

Dude I like Mustangs and trucks in a community that's mostly European or Japanese in taste.

[vetali]

[terrytek]

OK, but this is a bit too extreme. I was thinking max, 5 degrees camber. That looks like 8-9. And maybe a 3 inch drop.

Exactly. There are some people out there that do the job right and end up with a car that still ends up safe but still looks cool.

 

But they don't hate those as much as they hate stanced cars. It's different.

Also know that some places that require safety inspections are starting to fail cars with unsafe camber. 

 

Anyway, as far as 1/4 ton trucks go I stick to chevy. The newer SBC are reliable and super easy to work on. See too many fords in the shop and I hate working on them. Not a fan of the 5.7 dodges. 1/2 and 3/4 ton I stick with chevy or dodge. Duramax and Cummins are solid. Not a fan of powerstrokes post 7.3.

What about Tundras?

Towing serious loads with a Tundra?

 

lol

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

had to

[vetali]

What about Tundras?

Don't like them. Big noise makers that can't do much work. Tacoma is good, especially first gen non prerunner. But I'd rather have a S10 for a mini truck. Much cheaper and they can haul some things.

2016 Tundra with a 5.0 cummins FTW

It seems to me Toyota trucks by far hold the most value. There's a reason though.

3" sounds like a little but it's a lot...

[AlwaysFSX]

@terrytek Which would you prefer, the gold/bronze-ish TSW Nurburgrings or the black ones? Reddish orange car color.

[vetali]

Toyota tax, really. They are solid platforms. I have no doubts about their engines. Transmissions while hauling I've heard some mixed things. Overheating and hunting gears. I just assume Tundras are mall crawlers.

Haven't heard if Toyota Tax before

I see more F150's as mall crawlers and drive arounds. Tundra's aren't particularly frugal on fuel. But it's the common view on trucks that American trucks are real work trucks and Jap trucks are weak sauce.
