Is this what I need?
 
After alot of reading I have decided it is a better option to bag the front suspension of my truck to lower instead of using drop springs.

I have come into contact with a local guy who has
2 chassis tech 2600 bags dual port 1/2 in 4- 350psi 1/2 in valves two plates
and a 5 Gallon tank I can pick it up pretty reasonabley.
The truck Im looking to bag is a 84 C-10 I am wanting to keep the stock A arms until I have more money to invest in tubular.
I am wanting to know is the chassis tech 2600 bags the correct type of air bag I will be able to use on my front suspension?

****Question 2***

To use the stock A arms Im going to have to use cups for the bags to sit in correct?

Is a 5 gallon tank enough volume to use for a front suspension bags or will i need something bigger?

5 gallons is enough yes, however I wouldn't use chassis tech products to bag my matchbox car. Plates go on the tops of the bags but cups for the bottom.

Chassis tech is crap... I would go with some slams or dominator bags.

I have 2 chassie tech add 2 air lift dom 2600 bags. The air lift are a much better grade rubber. The price is a little more but if it saves you a tow home. The only reason I got the C/T bags is a buddy lost his job and needed cash,so I"ll take the chance there brand new and I have other spares just in case.

Chlsnk you are on the right track, but I would be reluctant to run used bags especially if they are AIM/Chassis Tech. If the valves are AIM/Chassis Tech I would pass on them too.

The plates should be fine, and one 5 gallon tank is enough for front and rear.

Yes, you will need cups with the stock arms.

Im still alittle unsure on putting it together and how it should properly be done. Is there any good write ups you would recomend me to read? N2Trux I read your write up you have linked in your sig and what you had on your truck before with the new stuff was exactly what I wanna do!
