The only thing I can find wrong with the setup is the name........doesn't V4.0 sound better than V3.2

Call it what you want......I'll take one!

I was thinking 3."TUBE".

**N2TRUX** · 07-01-2009, 10:55 PM

How come it doesn't have the "PB" cut in it. I was going to buy one, but that killed it for me.

The one on the table is mine... I didn't want to seem too egotistical!

Actually, I wasn't sure where I wanted to put it... but it will be on there! Now pony up!

**N2TRUX** · 07-01-2009, 11:31 PM

I'll just wait for V4.0 and get a custom logo..

AceX · 07-02-2009, 03:17 AM

Ken's logo will say "Thug Life"

Nate and I traded email a couple days ago, and with my own ongoing research, I honestly believe the Dropmember to be not only superior in its design to ANYTHING else on the market, but also probably the most cost effective, all-in-one solution to a front suspension overhaul.

No, Nate did not offer me a bribe to say that either...

Dinos63 · 07-02-2009, 12:07 PM

WOW NICE WORK NATE ,THE D/M HAS COME A LONG WAY

Tree fitty!

Seriously though, don't rule it out. For the right trade-in price you keep a customer, still make a profit on the new one and resell the old one at a profit to gain another new customer. Think used cars.

**67cheby** · 07-02-2009, 04:14 PM

hey i would buy someones "old model" so they could get the newer better one !!!! the old one is still much better than my stock one!!
