    My m925a1 build "Brutus"

    It would also be beneficial to have a couple of Long tire bars (like a crow bar on hand to help with leverage when you have to remove the blown tire and to help align the new one on the hub.. Similar to these...

    I am going to get a cheap winch and mount it behind the cab... As far as inflation pressure, you can deflate the tire enough, get a "Glad hand inflator" to help when you have to use the spare..

Never the less, after truck...

    Air ride suspension

    Has anyone here actually installed a airbag system? I have a 925, drove it from the everglades to SC, hit some real bad roads at one point almost lost control after being launched in the air.. 55mph isn't a big deal really until you hit crappy roads! Would love to get rid of these springs and...
