Scott,
Thanks for the "professional" comment
. Those square "shocks" are
exactly that. Square box tubing. We needed to get the front section as
low to the ground as possible to get it back under the GMC, and our Caspro
shocks do not compress that much. We made some replacements from the box
tubing for moving the front section back under the motorhome. We also cut
the tires off the old steel wheels to get them as low as possible. We
still used floor jacks to slide it under (just like we took it out), but
this way, the GMC wheels would stabilize unit which made it easier/less
risky to get it back under. Once it was under, we changed them out for the
Caspro shocks.
It probably would have handled real well and looked pretty cool with the
lowered front and solid front suspension though. I just thought of
something! Maybe that is the handling solution everyone here is looking
for. I think if we replaced the air bags with solid wood/metal and
replaced all the shocks with metal tubing, the GMC would really handle like
it was on rails. There would be no sway whatsoever. We could make it even
lower to the ground since there would be no suspension travel to worry
about. That would really improve things even more. I think I see a $1000
kit here. Just don't expect it to glide over bumps like the GMC air
suspension.
As far as your website.
In IE4, I do get the flying GMC, drop down text, and Home Improvement
sound. I might have been getting that before, but I usually start loading
a site and then go do something else. When I heard the music start, I went
back, but it was probably too late to see the animations. Now that I knew
what to look for, I waited on the page and saw them with no problems.
In Netscape 4, I don't get any of that. The text and GMC clipart just come
up as normal in Netscape. Looking at the text/pic movements, they look a
lot like Microsoft Powerpoint animations, so they may only be made to work
with IE4. I don't know, but I wouldn't doubt it.
