Air ride questions

[1enick72]

I have lowered my truck with spindles, blocks and springs and now have bartered a deal for most of and air ride set up. I still need a few parts but need some help know what else is needed. Below is a list of parts I have;
1 Vair 460C compressor
2 Hoosier air tanks (measure 30" x 7.5") Not positive the size, I think 7 gal.
2 Air Lift 2500lb bags
2 Blitzluft valves
2 3 way switches
2 pressure switches
1 dual needle pressure gauge

I know I will need;
2 2600lb bags for the front
front and rear mounting plates
air line and fittings

I also wondered, do I need 2 tanks or can I just use 1? I'm not going to be laying frame or anything crazy, just want it a little lower with a smooth ride and be able to adjust when hauling stuff.
Thanks for any advise and help.

If you just was a smooth ride and not going to be playing with it a 7 gallon tank is kinda big,I would run a 3 gallon or maybe a 5 gallon and you can run just a single tank.I would add another air gauge so you have all 4 corners covered.Just take a look at our vendors market we have a few that can get you everything else you need.

I agree with only running 1 tank since you only have 1 compressor as well as grabbing another dual needle gauge.

With only having 2 valves, you're going to need 6 more as it's 2 per bag.
You'll need 2 more 3 way switches at the least, but I'd recommend just buying a switch box since it's very clean and nicely labeled for wiring purposes and they usually come with 7 switches for easy front up/down, rear up/down and all up/down.

X2 on what they said above. Let me know if I can help you getting some of the items.

Also, I would suggest mounting the tank, if you decide to keep the 7, and planning where everything is going to go. Then, you can order your parts you need and any other fittings you might need. If you mount and plan where everything will go, then you will have a better idea of what fittings need to be elbows or straight.... or where you need reducers, etc.

Btw, is that a painted front bumper or brushed chrome? Has a cool look to it.
