I don't really care about the up and down speed. Everyone I've talked to says to get 4 corner adjustability. What do you think?

The main reason to have 4 corner control is it will handle really good. You won't need a sway bar. When you have only front & rear controls, the air bag on the outside of a turn will have more pressure in it because of the weight transfer. So the air from that air bag will transfer to the other bag. With individual controls at each corner, that won't happen. It will reduce sway buy holding the pressure in those outside bags.
Prices are always changing with some of the components to make a kit. It can depend on how many compressor's you want, and what size air tank, lines, fittings, and switches. The minimum I would recommend would be 1/4" air lines, with 2 air compressor's, a air 5 gal tank, with 3/8" control valves. I would use brass fittings for reliability, and they will reduce leaking. Roughy I'm guessing you'll spend about $500.00 to $600.00. I'll check the exact price when your ready.

Very nice build. I look forward to seeing the progress on this....

Thanks for the info. I might be able to afford to set it up quicker than I thought. Do you have any suggestions for where tanks and compressors should be mounted? Pics? I really haven't thought about where I'm going to put it all.

Here's a few I did. You have lots of options. I'm going to mount my tanks under the cab on the side of the frame.. Keep in touch with my build thread. I'm not ready yet, but will get to it after I get it running.









This one I installed in the rear quarter of a 56 Nomad fender.
