oh, and here is a kind of crappy video of it hoping in the rear on just compressed air (200 psi viair compressors). i thought that once i put the bed on it wouldn't come up as fast but it still does. haha.

Damn sweet stuff man, Your truck is super cool!!! WHat valves are you running? sounds like 200psi is too much for em, when you lift the dump bleeds a lot of air, My GC extremes used to do that, My SMC's dont though, which is awesome, I hated after hitting one switch my compressors would trun on, I need another tank for mine and a relay for one of my comps it already went out so lame lol I neve even drive it!!, Either way though you truck is tits, and would love to see a video of it driving

i am running 1/2" asco valves. this is my first bagged truck and i am learning a lot about it. i never knew why it sounded like that when i lifted it. but i kind of like it doing it because it scares the shit out of anyone close to it. haha. just sucks when as soon as i lift it the compressors kick on.

and thanks for the response. my boy david who use to get on here a lot has a few videos of me and dev, driving and dragging. i just need to get the videos from him. and in a couple weeks i will get a few videos at texas showdown. as soon as i get some video i will post them up.
