jason(sd) may have lost some of you guys as a market however he made a great business move by coming out with this product. he has more loyal customers than porterbuilt. it like comparing walmart to the local corner store. jason sells tons more product than many other air suspension supply places. he is a business trying to come out with another version of a product. competition is good. maybe this will inspire new products for our trucks.
im not bashing porterbuilt in any way and im still buying from nate when i get started on my project. id rather go with someone that know c10's like the back of his hand rather than knowing s10's. i doubt the sd front will be priced well anyways.

Replicating something that's relatively new is not the same as creating new products. Nate created a 'new' product, SD did what they did..... The rear kit is different & new. The front, not so much.

If SD was interested in bringing "inspirational" new products to more people than Nate can reach, they most likely could have sold the ORIGINAL Dropmember to their customers. I guess once they knew how it was done, it became cheaper for them to make it in-house.

Your own words liken SD's approach to WalMart. We all know how popular WM is to most of us now as they put our favorite mom & pop joints out of business because they can't compete against the larger companies buying power. Hhmmm..... the Tesla vs. Edison comparison.
