Well, not to sound like a grumpy old timer, but you can find ALL info you need by hitting search, advanced, type in AIRBAGS, then select titles only, and you will get 5 pages of answers to this exact question.

GL...

Best thing to do is CALL suicidedoors or KPcomponents and just tell them what you have and they will give you options...

Ya, its one of those things where you feel like its easier to get the info you need online, but in real life, its not. All you do is pick up a phone, start a relationship with the dude, and next thing you no you have all the info you need and the right parts from someone who has done this ALOT....

Re: what do i need? (air bags)

I have found that you can find the best deals online, but you have to understand what your looking for. I got my bags from airbagit.com My valves from ebay.com my brackets from a local place my tank and compressors from ebay also Misilanious parts like brass fittings at local places. Just shop around.

Re: what do i need? (air bags)

although i'm 50/50 on *****************, i did get most everything from them. I will say that their email support is less than stellar, but i've heard nothing but good things from others.

keep an eye on the shipping costs... i was going to order a couple small replacement parts from them and they were going to charge me over $30 for shipping. i tried to email, but neither address i sent to was valid anymore.

Re: what do i need? (air bags)

whatever you do, stay as far away from airbagit.com as you can get ... world renown scam artists.

Re: what do i need? (air bags)

Not to be a smart @ss, but the answer is: not low enough! Just drop the coin (it's not that much extra) and buy a set of 2.5 in drop spindles. You will thank yourself.

Re: what do i need? (air bags)

I spoke at length with Clint at KP last week about different setups. He sent me some sweet pictures.

Between him and all the info Nate (porterbuilt) has given me, my new setup will be 10x better than my last setup.

I pieced everything together last time and saved about $500. But I also spent way too much time/effort trying to figure out what I needed and what was missing. Not to mention 52 trips to NAPA/Ace Hardware for missing crap.

Search the suspension forum and see what others are running. Then pick up the phone and get help with the order.
