question on airbags??

[Sierra]

It depends on how much you are wanting to spend. A custom shop is going to charge a lot for labor. Installing an air bag suspension is labor intensive. They may get you a deal on the kit but then it depends on how good their work is. That is another area you will have to research. I never trusted shops in my area so I bagged my truck myself. The cheapest route is going to be installing this yourself if you have the means to.

It all boils down to what your abilities are and how deep your pockets go. But don't get discouraged. A bagged truck can be very reliable and fun. It's a big investment up front but worth it in the end. I enjoyed my bagged truck while it was drivable.

But don't be afraid to ask a lot of questions.

ya thats y i wana bag my truck i knw it will be fun and well im not really willing to spend more than 2k on the airbag kit im pretty sure i could install the airbag kit myself with a help of someone that has air suspension experience which is what im planning on doing and paying him some money which would be alot less than what a shop would charge me ...im with u on not trusting a shop with my truck

re5 etc is size of bag in inches at compressed.. you want re7's or re8's...


and it gets more complicated.. if you want front back side side (fbss) you need 8 valves total...

 

[2tone95]

i just want front back....not side to side and so then does that kit come with basically everything i basically need leme redo the list then

 

[noremac]

you will probably want dual compressors, but thats personal preference, and depends on how much you are gonna play with em lol.. bigger the tank, the bigger the resevoir of pressurized air, the more play time before compressor kicks on...

 

[noremac]

yeah, that is a decent list...

 

[2tone95]

ya ill probably mess with them alot lol so then if i plan to use them alot upgrade to dual compressors? and bigger tank? also should i also get the front shock brackets?
