A friend of mine has a shop that he bought recently and a Belltech kit was left in there. He has no use for the kit and told me he would sell it for a decent price but I honestly don't know what I am looking at. My 93 Sierra has a 5/7 drop and rides horribly. I want bags and this might be perfect.

Can anyone identify if this will work? I don't know if this will even work for the truck and if I should buy it.

If it does work is there anything else I will need to buy? I am not clueless I do my own work I just have no experience with air suspension.

I sent him a text. It might take a while for him to respond. He works early mornings so he might be asleep. He wants $1,000 cash for everything in the photo.

Just depends on what the specs on the bags and compressors are. Get the numbers off everything you can (valves and shocks as well) and see what it would cost you to buy. Shocks are Belltech nitro drop shocks, part number will tell you the application.

Okay he responded but he told me that his business partner the one that apparently took the stuff home doesn't want to give any info out. He texted my buddy and told him that it's $1,000 and that's all he will tell him. Pretty much take it or leave it. They haven't been getting along so that's probably why. I know I'm not going to get ripped off by him but I can't get anymore info out of the stuff.

Do y’all think it’s worth buying without any info on it? I can pick it up tomorrow but obviously not if it’s not worth it. I might have to call Belltech and ask them can they tell what’s in the photo

Belltech won’t be any help. The only thing they for sure make in the photo are the shocks. The brackets look like their stuff, but who is to say it’s not from some other company.

Viair makes good compressors, but if they aren’t big enough for your application they won’t be very good.

Bags - who knows. Can’t ID them from the photo. Same with the valves.

If it were me, I’d pass on it. Especially if you can’t get more info. There is a lot more to bagging a truck than just what’s in that photo. @618 Syndicate can chime in, too, since he’s on air.

I say spend the money on something you know what you’re getting like either a kit that has everything you’ll need or buy the individual components separately (bags, mounts, comps, valves, line, tank, etc.)

Walk away. It's not about not getting ripped off, it's a matter of knowing what application that stuff is designed for. Compressors and bags that provide enough lift for a Civic will struggle to lift your truck. Like @fancyTBI says, Belltech won't be any help, those are their shocks (and maybe other static drop stuff) but they don't do bagged suspension, and regardless, without part numbers they can't know what's what any more than you or we can. We're happy to try and help you, but the picture simply doesn't give enough information.
Also, don't expect your buddy to be in business for very long if this is how they're doing things. If you're not gonna tell potential customers what you want to sell them they'll just go elsewhere. It's not the dope game...

I agree their shop isn’t going to last if things don’t change there. My buddy is looking for someone to buy out that guys part of the business. They’re doing good on the business side though luckily right now. He did end up sending some pictures to him. these are the two he sent
