Ok guys i know there are more part's out there that we all would like to see for the SB. So let me have your thoughts on what you would like to see from RC. I will take you guys input and push it through to my R&D department to see where I can get with it.

Are you referring to just off-road parts? Or just suspension parts? Does RC do anything with street suspension and lowering kits?

I know one thing right off the top of my head. I'd like to see a reasonably price point crossover steering kits, or at least some other options. Just about seems the ORD has a monopoly on that for these straight axle trucks.

Dirt drag racing is pretty popular around here, you guys should look into the hot setup these guys use and make a kit. Some I've seen are like ladder bars, and the guys have their bump stops extended to limit rear suspension compression on launch but not limit droop. I've also seen some kind of weird axle collar setup that lets the axle float/twist, but has something like trailing arms I guess meant to keep the rear from jerking out from under the truck on launch. Still on a leaf spring rear too. Most of those guys run really wide cut Boggers on the back so I'm sure hooking up and not losing the rear end is the goal of these setups.

All we offer as far as suspension goes lift kits are it. We have simple steering parts like adjustable drag links and raised steering arms also a frame support. I will look into the crossover steering and see where I can get with it.

I think there's still a good market for items that were produced back in the day, but are no longer available. Like strong brush guards, ladder bar setups, and basic fender flairs that are not the cut-out style. These trucks are old enough now that some guys want to build them the old way.

Oh yeah, you're right. Even 89S wants a 1 foot tall, flat tinted bug shield to go across the front of his hood.

Square deflector for a squarebody hoss. :waytogo:

I think a killing could be made on those plastic inner fender liners. I want a piece of that action it it comes to fruition. I wish I had the connections to mold them myself and sell them. I was thinking about making them out of trash can bottoms. :wtf:

That's true. They are square and flat as a board.

not for a square body, but somebody needs to make replacement or HD or something torsion bars for gmt400's 88-98's.

lmc is over 200-300 a side.
