Deuce to be Bobbed A2 or A3?

[clb076]

Firstly I am new to the forum and have been admiring these trucks for a while. I am looking to buy a deuce with the intention of bobbing and lifting it. Possibly installing some 53's. Many of the deuce build threads I have seen show builds of A2 trucks. It seems like an A3 with the hydro steering, automatic and CAT would be more driveable trucks. Is there any reason for not using A3's other than their scarcity? Also, if i were to Bob and lift an A3 vs. an A2 would there be any additional challenges? Thanks for any help!

I think its' really a price issue. What do A3's go for. ?

sounds like you have already done some searching...but if you search some more most of your questions will be answered...

At the risk of starting another A2/A3 war I'll give my .

The A3 does have improvements over the A2 IMO. I don't think it's worth that much over the A2 though. That and I personally don't like the looks of them.

If you like the looks of an A3 and want a auto trans, Cat engine, air steering, and want to pay for it I say go for it. It's just not my cup of tea unless they get the price down comparable to a A2.

I see your point... the Automatic/Cat aren't really the part I found all that useful. The steering is what was selling me. If the steering becomes an issue is it that difficult to add it to an A2?

The air assist steering will bolt right on a A2. Some A2s have the air steering.
