Are these trucks strickly for shows or do you guys use them for like everyday driving also? If so what do you do about like speed bumps and stuff?

I drove mine everyday

I shredded front tires every few months!

I'd never bag a daily one again, too much upkeep.

But for speed bumps you just hit the switch and go over it then drop it back down.

Its kind of like hydraulics

Heres a video of part of our club from NATS.

I had the red truck with the frenched plate

2:20 was mine

I helped bodydrop the white one in the beginning, and also shown shortly after me

alot of bagged trucks are NOT daily drivers.
depends on the person and truck. some drag, some bag, some like them to be usefull, some like them to be daily drivers... the list goes on..
i will not bag mine.. maybe if i get a 2nd gen s10 i would..
but not my sonoma.. haha
