Re: What bag system to go with ?????????????

There are a lot of ways to build your own suspension system, and the air management is really what will vary the pricing. Single or dual compressors? Manual valves or e-level? Individual valves or the VU4? Either way you go, I do suggest getting quality parts, because it will pay off in the long run and save you a lot of headaches.

As for bags, I would suggest the AirLift D2600 bags up front. You can use them in the rear, but all depends on how you will be setting that up. Some like to use the sleeve bag.

Cheap and Easy don't go together that well...

Cheap: Front and Rear Z with manual valves

Easy: Front and Rear Porterbuilt/Scotts with a valve block.
