Re: My '93 Dime Project - aka "The Cookie Cutter"

hey man when you were talking about your valves you might as well go 1/2 to half becuase you will prob end up using less fittings, and for your dump if you get plugs for the end of the valve then you can drill a hole in the end to make it the speed you want it. its really hard to find a ride height with a 3/8 hole i find. i ahve a 1/4 hole drilled in mine, and if your pissin around in a parking lot you can pull the plug so you can go up and down real quick. btw its to bad you half to wait so long for the arms but they are nice. truck looks great man keep us informed.

Re: My '93 Dime Project - aka "The Cookie Cutter"

you gunna brace the valves on the tank? Buddy of mine has them just like that and has sprung a leak from a cracked weld at the bung on the tank from the weight of the valves and bumping around on crappy, uneven pavement.
