Ridetech Level 1 Air Bags

I'm thinking about installing air ride on my 70 C10, I like the Ridetech Level 1 kit but Porter Built Fab also has a nice kit. I know PBF uses Dominator bags, not sure what Ridetech uses. Looking for opinions from other users?

Thanks.

I'm pretty sure the Ridetech kit will have Firestone bags.

What's better Firestone or Dominator?

Re: Ridetech Level 1 Air Bags

I have a full Air Ride, cool ride kit that I will be trying to sell very soon. Only used for mock up... It has the c-notches, strong arm control arms, sway bar kit, trailing arms with crossmember, bags and shocks, two compressors, 5 gallon tank and digital system. Let me know if you are interested.

Re: Ridetech Level 1 Air Bags

I looked heavily at both the Ridetech and Porterbuilt. Both are nice kits but I started out with PB Stage 1 front and Stage 2 basic rear. I think it's the best product for the money. However, the RT Stage 1 setup is a nice turn-key package.

Hey Screenem If the op isn't interested in your setup I might be? Let me know the details and maybe we can work something out?

Re: Ridetech Level 1 Air Bags

Screenem, your kit sounds awesome but probably way out of my price range. What kind of a price you thinking?

Re: Ridetech Level 1 Air Bags

I like the PB kit but I think the RT RQ shocks are better than what PB offers.

You can upgrade. PB is a RT dealer. I've got the HQs for my setup.

Re: Ridetech Level 1 Air Bags

Sweet, are you happy with your setup, how is the ride compared to stock? Are you using a air management system?

Re: Ridetech Level 1 Air Bags

Lol. It all looks great sitting on the workbench. My truck is a very slow moving process. I started with a simple setup and blew all that out if the water. I'm more than likely going RIdeTech's air management with level sensors mainly because they are local to me. It's a tough decision as I really like the accuair e-level.

I've ridden in RIdeTech's shop truck and it rides/handles great. I'm anticipating mine to be better than that.
