Is there a market up here for desert racing suspension? How many people out there want to see so-cal style prerunners around this area? What type of trucks and suspensions would be on demand the most( I beam, a-arms, rangers toyotas?) How many of you want to start racing and or know people who do?

I have a 97 ranger I am going to building up. I'm going with Camburg, very expensive but I think it will be worth it...

I really want to be a dealer/ installer for one of the major prerunner manufacturers like Camburg, H&M , GIANT etc...
I would love to install and tune these kits, and build bad ass prerunners. This area is better than so Cal, we can actually use our rigs.
What are you thinking, BBO?

The reason I posted those questions were that I am looking at starting a off road fab shop/business but dont know if the market is here. I have a 2wd I beam design that works great and a 4wd kit as well, I have been working on a couple of different a-arm design's but dont want to just copy the guys that have been doing this for some time. I personally think that camburg, giant, mcneil, and total chaos are great suspentions and would be happy to install there stuff as well. I also dont want to steall any business from the shops around this area either, thanks for the replies keep them comming!

What are your A arm design inovations?? (or are they top secret skunkworks fab stuff:nervous: )
I understand the shop thing, that is why I started mine. The real reason I started a shop is that I want to build a Truggy very similar to the Herbst land shark, but can't seem to afford the axles to start the thing:(
There is probably not enough people around here to start a race spefic shop, but I think this forum is a good place to get people talking and interested about racing and prerunners. As soon as you get your 7 truck rolling, you give guys a ride in that and it will be like a drug, people will want more:yes:
