Re: air ride parts

nah your VIAIRS are ok me its just i have not had many good outcomes with them they burn up to easy for me if you dont over use them they are ok lil compressors its just i like being to where if i need air i dont need to worry with the compressor overheating also when you call viair for help or parts no one there speaks english its some dude in dubi

2. if you want your c10 to lay out here is what you will need... well here is what i pefer but that is not saying this is the best way to go i have just had the best luck with these parts i drag every day
the first kit your looking at
http://www.jpkustoms.com/catalog/com...35dc94223fb2de
is good all but the compressor they suck that is one that will over heat just filling the tank a guy i know has this kit and the compressor burned up in a week
http://www.*****************/AutoPilo...entSystem.php#
the other one does not have enough of what you need this one is just to manage air

1. 3'' drop spindle

2. front bracket kit http://www.*****************/67-87Ful...rtBrackets.php

3.Wish bone link kit super easy to install and looks good and if you run the wishbone backwards you dont need a panhard bar <HINT> http://www.*****************/UniversalWishboneKit.php

4. notch you will save your self a load of headachs with this notch it fits perfect http://www.*****************/67-72Ful...yStepNotch.php

5.Rear bag brackets
http://www.*****************/RearUppe...SinglePort.php

6.steel tube to brace your notch and rear bag any of these will work great depending on the size you need bracketshttp://www.*****************/SteelTubing.php

7. AIR BAGS <DUH> use a like 2600 in the front and i like to use a 3bell in the rear of a c10 for mad lift the one i am building now will have 3 bells i will post some pics
http://www.*****************/AirbagsSlamSpecialties.php FRONT
http://www.*****************/Contitec...SinglePort.php REAR if you can do it

8. quick fittings

9. these for your tank http://www.*****************/FittingsMaleConnector.php

10. GC Valves 1800 295 1101 OR GODFATHER CUSTOMS CHEEP! 35$ for 1/2" last forever

11. compressor this is the list of my favs

.http://www.*****************/AirManag...ressorKits.php

2.http://www.*****************/OasisXD4000200PSI.php

3.http://www.*****************/AirZenith200PSISilver.php

12. AIR LINE http://www.*****************/AirLine(DOT).php

13. switch box http://www.*****************/AirManag...witchBoxes.php

14.gauge or you can go dig but they are off a lil the manual gauges are better http://www.*****************/AirManagementAirGauges.php

15. and a tank dont go over board with a tank if you have a small compressor 8gal is more than enough your compressor will need to work harder to fill more space now if you have a big compressor more size more play time http://www.*****************/AirManagementAirtanks.php

and i have never put a pair of shocks back on a air ride job it dont get smother that air so dont waist your cash on shock mounts or drop shocks its a waist of money and your bags will be slower... hope this is some help let me know if you need any thing else i will try to put a kit togeather and post the link sry about spelling in a rush
