Spirson Off Road?????
Just curious if anybody has heard of them before. I saw them at the Off Road show in Pomona over the weekend and had never heard of them until then. I'm sure someone can share some insight.Spirson

Yeah, I've seen there name tossed around and I've checked out there site before. Their kit looks good, but I just can't enough benefit to switching over to a coilover setup, other than the cool factor, to warrant the extra expense. Being able to fine tune the ride height is cool (my old truck had coilovers), but if you break a mount off road you're immobilized. Also, with the 4" system they offer you only get 8" of travel. The separate shock and spring can get you 10".

See ya Saturday!

Looks like it may just be me again. My wife may go visit her mom since she just got back from Arizona this week after spending 5 weeks with her grandma in the hospital.

Cool! Wish you could all make it and I know my wife was looking forward to hanging out with your wife, oh well, maybe the Dec. race! I'll be heading out there tomorrow morning. Call me and let me know when you'll be there.

I'll be sure to bring your hat and chair

If it's just me I'll leave early Saturday moring so I can be there by 8 a.m. If it's the whole family, I'll be lucky to be there by 9 a.m.!

I'll call you tomorrow evening. See ya!

Bob's daughters drive and the other girls co-drive. No men allowed this race. This is the Race for the Cure for breast cancer weekend. They have a ton of raffle stuff, lots of food, music and beverages. Very fun time.

I love the disclaimer at the end of the video...."Not intended for intense off road use"

It didn't look to me like that suspension was intended for any kind of use, judging by that video :lol:
