    Bumpstops? Isn't that the things that roll around in the back of your truck because you never got around to putting them on?

    Not even fast really, I mean doing 25-35mph down a dirt road and you hit a "pothole." That's never happened to you? I can tell you it isn't fun because my last Taco had about as much uptravel you do and it absolutely sucked. Yes, I had rubber bump stops too. To each his own though. I refuse to settle with that on my current truck :rolleyes:

    Air bumps make a huge difference. I guess I'm a little obsessed about go-faster rigs now that I've been to King of the Hammers a couple times. It's fun as hell hauling ass in the dirt but it's also fun crawling. It's no fun when your buddies are hauling ass in the dirt and you're stuck behind because your leaf sprung truck with very little uptravel is wrecking your teeth. I've been in that boat before :rolleyes:

    Looks decent. I would strongly advise against those hard rubber bump stops though. That's what I had on my old truck to try and save the leaf springs from getting killed too fast. Turns out I just bottomed the truck out more and it rode like absolute shit. On the road was fine but offroad, forget it. The better rubber bump stops are Timbrens or bumps that actually compress some.

    Its polished aluminum ::p

    1/2" NPT outlets, came with -6AN fitting for return, and -8AN fitting for pump suction, internal baffles as well. Spin on filter :D

    And a shit ton cheaper than PSC wants for theirs with an internal filter thats a bitch to source and replace.

    [​IMG]

    $154.25...um no thanks...

    I got it from these guys for $85 shipped

    aluminumgastanks.net

    Something like a full quart capacity too!
