The fact that I am going to be running Air Lift Performance components on Project Why Wait shouldn’t come as much of a surprise. The large banner behind my work bench was a bit of foreshadowing, and an easy indication of where my air ride loyalty lies. I’ve had Air Lift Performance struts, and Autopilot v2 management supporting my…
