    How much of a drop for hitch ball mount?

    I have used one of these in the past on a utility trailer. You know how much they can bounce around empty and this eliminated the rattle in receiver. For the price it pays for itself the first quiet ride you take! Easy enough to make one up yourself as well but $20 is cheap enough to save your...

    How much of a drop for hitch ball mount?

    That's awesome! I grew up racing motoX and then broke some bones and my father said enough! Put me in a dirt car with a rollcage lol and I raced sprint cars for almost 10 years. Now I'm racing a ZX10R which I started 2 years ago and funny what you said about the Pro's.. My last race I was quick...

    How much of a drop for hitch ball mount?

    I know you asked about hitches but I saw the race bike and couldn't help but ask where do you race? Wera? What classes? It's not very often I meet others with the same hobbie/passion/money pit!

    Pedal Commander! Awesomeness!

    Can you elaborate more? I'm not sure I'm following what your saying here. I'll have to take notice next time I drive it but I'm fairly confident that it's not pulling as hard as it was when I didn't have the PC. Could it not be downshifting to the lowest possible gear and because the throttle...

    Pedal Commander! Awesomeness!

    Interesting to read this. I installed one a week or two ago and I have noticed similar things. The pedal response has certainly improved but it does not seem to pull as hard when WOT. I wasn't sure if this was just in my head but seems similar with others..

    Sway A-Away 2.5 Suspension

    I did not ask if SAW was better or as good as King and Fox. I am clearly on a budget and don't want to spend over $4K on shocks when this truck rarely sees anything more exciting then sandy beaches and some dirt roads on the way to the lake. I am asking for feedback because for the price I could...

    Sway A-Away 2.5 Suspension

    Hiawassee is beautiful! I had the opportunity to do some wakeboarding in a lake in the mountains out there years ago and I will never forget it! I also head to Blood Mtn at least once a summer to bring the race bike and ride some good twisty roads through the mountains. Stay safe my friend!

    Sway A-Away 2.5 Suspension

    That is a very gracious offer and I will certainly keep that in mind. I'm happy to hear SAW claims the mileage is on par with the factory Fox 2.5's. I am in Augusta, Ga and I will not see any bad weather unless you consider over 100% humidity bad (I do). I think the stimulus package may be...

    Sway A-Away 2.5 Suspension

    Going to King would be my first choice if it wasnt going to cost almost $5K.. This is the best feedback I have seen yet on these shocks and I think I will pull the trigger on them. I have a good shock guy who can revalve if necessary. Plus the reservoirs look cool and that matters! I think I...

    Sway A-Away 2.5 Suspension

    Thanks for replying! I haven't seen any posts where people put some miles on them. I'm wondering if the Fox 2.5's are better or worse then the AFE 2.5's. I know most upgrade to a 3.0 but that is also twice the cost. My truck will see the occasional dirt road and can be found at the obx playing...

    Sway A-Away 2.5 Suspension

    Hey folks. I'm due to replace/rebuild my wore out Fox 2.5's on my gen 1 and I'm seeing Sway-A-Away 2.5's for a price in between new Fox 2.5's and 3.0's. Have others gone this route? There is very little information online with these and just curious to hear if these shocks would be an...

    K&N failed test

    I have been using oil based filters all my life on the race track. I came from sprint car racing and that's all dirt/clay. My brother n law still races 410 sprint cars (world of outlaws) and 1 of his engines cost about $65K! All aluminum block producing 900HP. Yes, he uses oil based filters...

    FRF must be Evil...

    I find it helps that ever so often when you are receiving packages, you make sure to order something for the wife to keep the "happy wife, happy life" theme going... With that said, I am ordering some new shocks next week and I plan to also trim the bushes, lay new pine straw, and plant some...

    Ceramic Window Tint

    Ceramic tint is among the best in terms of quality. If you want it "blacked out" then 5% will do the trick. However, If you enjoy seeing through rear windows at night this will not be favorable. 20% is the most common and is used to match the factory rear tint. Also, if you decide to just do the...
