You really need to consider what your budget is. We have several vendors here that offer all levels of air systems.

Spend some time researching to determine what your needs are.

Re: please give me your advice

It really depends on what you are after. Do you want a bolt in kit that comes complete and was designed specifically for your application? If that's the case I suggest looking at Air Ride Tech's site.

If you want to get the lowest price on individual components and design your own system, we have several vendors that can fulfill those needs.

Check out AVS, Porterbuilt, Scotts hotrods, Suicide Doors, or .....

Re: please give me your advice

My system is straight from the A.R.T catalog with a ViaAir compressor added for good measure.

The C-notch was custom built using pipe and plate steel. You can use an A.R.T. bolt in C-notch as well.

The system I am running will do exactly what you want. It is fine for driving with no adverse effects, and will drop it "fairly low" at a show.

Oh, yeah- BFE= Bum Frick Egypt (polite form)
