    i was going to suggest that as well, just wasn't sure on how on the fly they adjust. much the same as bags I would assume. just open the tank, read the gauge and fill to the right psi you know it should be set at for X activity.

    though like he said, if im reading it right, bags are temp until he gets the center diff and LT figured out. all though it looks like ORIs are a good final ground for the situation, if they can satisfy his go fast needs well enough.

    Ori's are flippin awesome, my holdback on them is that they are rated for around 1300#s per corner. The rear of my truck is currently at 2300# which doesnt give me much room for growth. And when you run shocks/springs close to their max weights you end up with either a really unresponsive spring rate, kinda deadens how quick they react from having to have them so close to their max weight just to get them to preload.

    However, running them in tandem with a coilover with a light weight spring and using the ori to bring them up to weight has definately crossed my mind.

    Have you got any more details/pictures on your GoPro mount? I've been thinking about doing something similar.

    It is built using 1" .120 wall dom for the lower sections, and 3/4" tubing for the upper sections. The 3/4 slides into the 1" and allows it to telescope. I used cheap ball joints to secure it to the bed rails and just use straps to tighten everything down.
    If I were to build another one, my main focus would be to lighten it up by quite a ways. Possibly use aluminum.

    I guess I should post a little pricing intro for the sliders and random other hardware I have been building, mainly the reason I haven't been doing much to the Aluminum Falcon.

    "SkinkWerks slider pricing:

    So far, I have only built them for second gens, working on first gen sliders.

    Base model $500,
    Dcsb/Ac $550,
    Dclb $600,

    Powder coating for base and Dc +$50
    Dclb +$75

    I am still working on bolt on options, and hope to make all sliders a bolt on option.

    These are made in my spare time and I am slowly expanding what I can offer.

    If you have questions please feel free to send me a pm, I have also been doing a few bumpers here and there as well as other custom work. Examples are BradyT88's bumpers and Bulhas's bed rack.
