New Member Checking In

Thought I'd take a minute to say hi. I've lurked her for sometime - finally signed up. I look forward to exchanging information & stories with you all.

Truck in my sig is not my 1st Dodge, but it is my first diesel. My dad has a 01 24V that I've wrenched on since it was new so I do have some basic knowledge, hopefully I won't bore you with the typical newbie questions. I have a background in performance suspension engineering. I was the R&D shop foreman at Eibach Springs for 5 years.

sweet intro

so let me congratulate you on your decision to join this fine group of diesel enthusiasts..

Now on to a more pressing question, you don't have any spare lift kits for an 03 2500 4x4 laying around do you??

Thanks all.

Dodgezilla - I'll do my best to help...

HappyGA - Sorry but no. Eibach never mass produced any off the shelf lift / leveling kits for our trucks...But if you have some specific questions I'd be happy to answer them.

Rick, Yucaipa is in Southern CA. Stop trying to steal our prospective members

BPC, you should check out the Natl. and Regional Chapters / Special Events forum, and look at the SoCal #24 meet & greet that is coming Saturday. It is not all that far from you.

Haha sure sure buddy. IIRC(from the top of the page ) he said he WAS the foreman.

And why do you need suspension products? Your truck runs just fine. Maybe ones to keep it on the pavement when you want it to stay there?

Just messin bud-

Runamuk - I no longer work for Eibach, have not for over 2 years. I am still very familiar with their product line and still have some very good friends there. If I can be of any help let me know...

NuklesuX - Thanks for the heads up!

Just because I got a little slideways on a country road EVERYBODY is giving me grief!!

You never saw me lift off the skinny pedal until the tires stopped spinning did you??

If you cannot auto cross it every once in a while then you're not a real driver!!

Honestly, I was just courious if there was some new hot suspension on the market.

Ok Ok I just made the decision, no more arguing, after my nonsense (mixed with others as well) got a perfectly good thread shut down earlier. Wouldnt want that to happen on somone's "New member checking in" thread over a silly little manuever you made, that the people BEHIND you saw fully through
