I need some help from western canadian members with airbags on their trucks. Where did you buy your setup from and what kind of prices did you pay? I'm trying not to order from the states so any good deals up here?

I have a PacBrake set up on my truck, they are new into the game, but have some quality pieces plus they are out of Surrey and will even do the install for you if you like. I'm just running a basic set up with schrader valves and their billet spacer blocks so I can go from stock height to the bumpstops but no notching. They have everything you need, compressors, valves, tanks, gauges etc. However they don't have the larger bags for the front yet, but they are working on them, and I'm sure they could help you get some air ride or air lift bags to use. If you are interest let me know what you want and I'll see if I can get some prices.

Actually, it is a Blazer and his screen name is "grnddwn", he works there and should be more than able to help you out. If you try to call MacGyver's, ask for Rob.

I am a member from Montana, just sixty miles from the border. I have bought several motorcycles in Alberta [back when the exchange made it worthwhile], so I am wondering if you guys can buy the parts down here, and just take them back home. I doubt there are rules on "truck parts" crossing the border, as long as its not a truckload.

I think of this because there is big new restoration / customization shop [not just a hole in the wall operation] opening up just a few doors done from my office. This shop is a real oddity for Kalispell, Montana for sure. Its a guy who moved his business here from SoCal. Anyway, when he opens I can check his prices on air ride stuff. I am familiar with the parts, currently putting an ART RideProE in my truck. They should be finished with their new sizable shop / showroom building in the next few months. Haven't checked if they have a website; but the business is called Hardcore Customs.

Update: looked for a website, but HardcoreCustoms.com is a chopper site, not the shop I am referring to.
