I want! I want! Looks AWESOME! I just wish I could swing the funds for something like that. Right now, I'm just about giving up on that ever happening. Well, maybe in a year or two. Definitely not this winter. In the meantime, I may go with one of those "kits" or a Progressive system. I am leaning more towards the kit because I want the air-ride. So, less investment now means less wasted later.

Were you having issues with your current compressor?

That's awesome! I know exactly what you mean. Been there, done that, got the t-shirt.

Glad you are able to upgrade. It's always nice to rest assured that you have the newest and the best available on the market! Good think JD was able to make you a special deal.

You'll have to give us an update after the install.

Have you asked him? I don't think he's over chargen for it. For you if your shock is already commen off, then now would be the best time to get the bigger compressor. Give him a ring his # is on his web site. Good Luck!

Had a slight leak over 2 days and JD said to send to him for warranty
repair and asked about bigger compressor and bolt replacement.
Got the shock back with leak fixed and also the bigger comp and bolts.
JD did say $100US for compressor but can't seem to tempted him to
give me his account details to transfer the cash.
