Re: Is this a good deal?
New or used? What brand valves? The Thomas compressor is a very good one, but it's rather small.

Re: Is this a good deal?
If i decide to run this set up, will I have to run another compressor? I know from research that i need at least 6 to 8 valves. This is not a daily driver, i just want to be able to slam it low for shows and raise it up to drive home. Plus what size of air tank is recommended? Thanks guys.

Re: Is this a good deal?
You won't need another compressor, but having a back up is always a good idea. You can get by with less than 8 valves, but having 8 is the only way to go in my mind. You will need 5-6 gallons of reserve space. One 5 gallon, or two 3 gallon will work fine.
I am of the opinion that air suspension should be done as right as possible. Regardless of how little its used, having a faulty or inferiors system is frustrating at best, and could actually be unsafe. Do it once, and do it right.

Re: Is this a good deal?
On a 68 c-10 with a big block, would it be better if I went with 2600 bags opposed to the 2500?

Re: Is this a good deal?
Yes the 2600 are preferred. What brand are the valves you listed? I hope they are not AIM/Chassis Tech
