Most of them, how much does this run? who sells the best kit?
what else do you need? what are the raise / lower heights?

The "best" kit is from Air Ride Technologies. The "best priced" stuff is from Suicide Doors.

Re: Air Bags - Info Needed Please

Thanks anyway Alvin, but the 2wd's not currently for sale, should I buy a
4/6 ECE type drop kit before I go to airbags? or just leave it all stock

Re: Air Bags - Info Needed Please

I wouldn't buy a full 4/6 drop kit unless you are waiting awhile before going to bags. I'm putting bags on my truck (frame up), and I just bought drop spindles, rear shock relocators and super panhard bar from ECE. I bought the front brackets/cups from *****************, and I like the plates but the cups are a little big. I bought used ART stuff off XXL awhile back, and their cups fit perfectly in the pocket on the lower a-arm. So I'm going to have suicidedoors plates and ART cups. In the back I'll just run the air bag bolted in. I picked up a full set of valves and an engine driven compressor off the parts board here, so I just need tanks, airline, and fittings. Hopefully it will all work out, I'm really just figuring it out as I go. Best of luck with it, should make a pretty sweet ride.
