Who hear drives their bagged and/or bodydropped ride daily? Any problems in the winter when it gets cold? also, how do you prevent rain and salt from coming in contact with the electrical parts like the valves b/c i know salt can destroy that shit.

drove my old truck for around 2yrs daily. no probs with it suspension wise. had a couple of normal vehicle probs. after that it had it fair share of problems. i got it running like a caddy again right before i sold it though.

Ive drove my truck everyday for probably the last 2.5-3 years. Like said earlier, if everything is done correctly you should be fine. As for the cold, if you got moisture in the system it can freeze your valves open/close. I live in Texas where its 20 degrees one day and 70 the next, and i haven't had any real problems. Just get a water trap and/or drain your tank every month or so.

With 133,000 miles and being bagged for about 3 years now and BD for almost 2, no major problems other than the usual stuff, valve sticking, minor leaks over time. And the usual stuff bad fuel pump recently and thats really the only major thing, oh and my LED modules going bad.

My g/f daily drives her bagged and BD taco, no probs either.

As said above if done correctly shouldn't be any major problems...

And i'm in Arizona so i dont know much about rain and salt :LOL:

I drive my bagged wagon every day, and drove the piss out of my bd'd blazer last summer, and drove it every day before I took it off the road for the body drop. Like it's been said already, if everything is done right, you won't have an issue. I don't think I could stand not having a bagged daily any more..lol
