Re: Air ride help for a newbe

Looks like you have a good start there and some of the main parts you need for the air ride system. Do you know how big those tanks are? A general rule of thumb, is no larger than a 5 gallon tank for one compressor. I would maybe go with 1 of those tanks, so that it will build pressure faster, and they seem to be a 4-5 gallon tank.

You will also want to make sure the pressure switch you have is a 150 PSI switch, since the VIAIR 460C compressor is only capable of 150 PSI, which is fine for your application. Just don't want to over work it up to 200 PSI.

As for the rear, the Porterbuilt rear setup is a good way to go. Their stage 1 kit has necessary bag brackets and shock relocation brackets in the kit.... along with the bags and shocks of course. Another piece you may want to add down the road is the adjustable trac bar.

I can help you get the misc. fittings you need to hook everything up and complete the system. I would also suggest an 8-valve setup, so that each bag is isolated and you don't get air transfer between them, causing excessive body roll.

Just give me a call and would be more than happy to go over everything with you.
