Default Finally my CFO approved new mods
Got permission from my CFO chief financial officer AKA da women to add two mods that I really want to do.. However on my list I have three...hmmm, So if I cant get the third one I need to narrow it down to two.


Here is the list in no particular order and let me know which two YOU would do..

1. SAS suspension
2. Heartland kit
3. New Wheels (SMT)

On the suspension if there is one out there that is as good but better priced please let me know...

Thanks

When playing with CFO's always go for the big ticket items first.
The third will be easier to get at a later date.

SAS cost about $1600.00 and only adjust to ride hieght. Shotgun $1000.00 which adjust hieght/rebound. Do a search on "Shotgun Shock" plenty to read about.

My vote would be the Heartland and the Air ride.
Your wheels look killa. However I guess with the Heartland you got to change the rear out anyway?

The Heartland Kit has nothing on what you have done for a rear fender. I personally would go for the:

1. SAS suspension
2. New Wheels (SMT)

If you decide to go for the Heartland Kit sell me your rear fender!

Shotgun shock and the Heartland kit. They go hand in hand. Wheels are a whole different arena. You have to do wheels, pulley and rotors. That can be the next round.
