But I’m bored at work and figured I would share my pile of shit with you guys. Now thats she’s all tucked in for the winter I wanted to share some pics gathered from h2o international in Ocean City, Maryland. I got to do a photoshoot with Jake G and Michaelmark5 from WFSU latelatelate one evening and here are a few snaps. This ended up being a feature on the blog.

The ride quality is great! Much better than coils and not sloppy like most assume. Airlift valves and tunes their struts to be a performance minded application. I had the pleasure of spending a day with the engineering team this summer, the director is from a track back ground and wants nothing but great drivability from their product. As far as year round use, as long as proper precautions are taken (adding air brake anti freeze to the tank and water trap) issues should be minimal.
