So if they give you their product for free for you to give a good vendor review?

My last purchase was the ARB Compressor with Tire Inflation kit and the mounting bracket. $256 to my door. Anywhere else, $315 - if they even have a package deal on it. To me, that is worth pointing a few forum members that way. And a chance at a $4000 lift just for spending 5 seconds adding a line to my sig? Seems like a decent ROI.

Is that also adding them as a 'friend' to your mainstream social networking account as well?

Good luck with the $4k lift promo, I hope you're not outside standing in the cold waiting for it to arrive.


If that lift shows up on my doorstep, I *may* consider an endorsement deal for a limited amount of time

From what I understand it would help increase mpg from not having to constantly downshift to maintain speed.

It really depends on your particular driving mix. If it's all surface streets it might not make much of a difference. If there is more highway driving it could be a big change. The terrain makes a difference too.

If you are running 35s and you rig is an unlimited then 488s will be sufficient. If you don't plan on going to a 37. If so the 5.13s I have 37s. Running 5.13s and it's great. 35s Its a touch overgeared and will definitely affect your mileage. You with definitely need a programmer.
