Ebay bag kits?

I'm new to this forum and appreciate everyone who shares all their knowledge. So I have a 72 gmc k15 that is currently on the operating table getting air bagged. I've been doing alot of reading and have decided to go with 2600 bags all the way around. Triangulated 4 link out back with bag on bar and step notch. Going with 2.5 drop spindles and cupped lca on the front. Trying to keep everything kinda simply as this is my first time doing a full bag suspension. I've been looking at these kits on ebay that are selling for around 500 and claim they have almost everything I need, bags, tank, compressor, switches, plates. This seems to good to be true by the fact that 4 dominator 2600 go for about 300 alone. Anyone have ANY experience with these kits? Are they a total waste of time? My original plan was to just buy 4 bags and make my own plumbing and delivery system but even doing that I'd have more than 500 into it. Thanks in advance

My only input is the best compressor and only one I ever ran was a viair. Worked flawless for years, then I sold the truck.

The cheap kits are just that cheap junk. Get name brand stuff. Try horn blasters. They usually have good deals on ebay and they are legit high end parts. I got twin chrome viair 380's , 5 gal tank, and 4 dominator 2600 from them for $565 shipped. Newmatics is reasonable on fittings, gauges etc.

That's another thing. I'm cupping my lca's and I'm not sure if the 2500 or 2600 would be better. I know the 2600 will ride better and has more lift. But I dont want it to rub on the cups because its bigger diameter. What did you use the 2600's on?

Right. They have 25 and 26 both dominator and Firestone. I was just curious if you had cupped lowers how the 2600's worked for you.
