Re: air bag setup?

If you know what you want, you might be able to piece it together. But it can be a pain in the ass. I pieced mine together and it worked out well. This truck won't be a kit, either, but I know exactly what I need.

If your looking for just a simple drop it when you park and raise it up to drive a small air tank and one compressor will be cheaper then a big tank and 2 compressors.But talk to some of the vendors on here they all sell air bag parts you'll get a deal on them.

We have a nice simple 4 path kit with compressor system that is going to roughly run you around 1000.00-1400.00 depending on the components

Re: air bag setup?

You can sometimes build cheaper then you can buy it. You pay for convience and someone elses homework. One rule when doing this, buy nice or buy twice. Always specials on here for compressor kits, valves, gauges, bags, and sometimes complete systems. The vendors on here will not only sell it to you, they will help you with the installs and technical support. You gotta sometimes catch it just right.
