Suspension upgrade, source engineering?

Yes today is the day, I will find out what source engineering hase for a suspension upgrade. I am parked at source engineering in Coburg Oregon to find out what they have for suspension upgrades on my old Tradewinds. I just drove two hours in windy conditions and through the hills yesterday to get here. It is fresh in my mind how this thing handles so after they do their magic we'll see if it's all worth it. I pulled over on the freeway yesterday and when I came to a stop, a truck went by me. I thought the wind from that truck was going to blow me over.
The movement inside here was unbelievable and there is no way I should have that kind of movement from just the wind from a truck going by. So we'll see what source engineering can do . I will make another post later to let you know how it handles.

WOW! What a difference driving home after source engineering changed the shocks and also added Comfort air ride valves.The air ride valves splice into the airline going to the airbags so you have one at each airbag.

So the wind didn't push me around on the way home and passing trucks were no problem at all, or when they passed me. So all in all it just handles better all-around, nice ride and easier to control just driving down the road. So that was all they did but what a difference it made I am now a happy camper.
