$7000 for bags and installation Holy SH*t!!

[jus2sic]

Wuutsup guys. I finally went to a place AROUND my area called west coast tire and muffler who is one of the only places who does bags in concord califorornia, let alone my area [bay area]. Heres what the guy said i would need for my 94 chevy 1500 with a 5/7 [which i already have] :

-[this is all out of the Airride Technologies 2001 catalog]

- 88-98C1500 Truck Tahoe Suburban ARF5003 Part # its on page 8 under Vehicle Applications [cool ride] I take this is the kit for front --$549.00

-88-98 C1500 [truck only] [belltech c notch reccommended] i think i already have that cuz i have a 5/7 drop thas what the guy said Part # ABAR11001 [airbar] Rear kit i take.. -- $1399

-4 way RidePro max compressor/solenoid system with 3/8 lines Part # ARC4600. Air systems -- $1699

So this all comes to a total of $3647, but I guess he said labor would add it up to be about $7000, HOLY SH*T! SO from everyone who read my previous posts, is this what I need? All i want is to lower my ride almost to the ground, asi said before, not grounded maybe in later times. Help me out guys.. Cuz I'm not payin $7G's even if i had the money. Let me know ur opinions, thpughts, and if ne1 has any suggestions for melate guys...

Is he atleast going to use lube? Why don't you just try it yourself? It is all "bolt-on" stuff, not that hard. Just my .02.

I know it's not the same kit but I just installed Easy Streets front and rear kit on my buddies S-10 and we did it in a weekend. Just make sure you have the appropriate tools on hand before you start and it won't be hard at all. Make sure you have a cutting tool (die grinder with a cut-off wheel, sawzall, plasma torch). Have a couple of freinds handy to help lift off the bed (2 or 3 minimum). Use your common sense and follow the directions for the kit (measure twice, cut once). I for one, don't let anyone work on my truck if I can do it myself. I installed my rear 4 link and panhard airbag system myself and installed the notch. Just my .02 cents.

SO is what the guy at the place told me to get from airride, is this all correct is this all i would need for my 94 chevy?? Depending on my money situation i'll be doin this in a couple months or a year, anybody live in northern california who has a setup like this that I could see?? I'd like to see someones truck with the setup before i buy one. But i want to make sure that from what i listed in my first post of all the products i would need, that that is IT and i would be abl;e to assemble all this. Thanks guys

I don't know alot about bagg'in but for that price, he should throw in a years worth of knob slobbin. Looks like he's f*ckin you. I have been looking around for prices for my truck, but that will be well into next year before I go bags. Hell I am dropping my truck 4/6 this weekend. Shop around talk to airride, and buy when you get all the facts. Don't just talk to one rippoff shop in N. Cali, cause those guys sound a little fishy to me. And like a couple of the other guys said already, if it was me and my truck, I would do all the work myself. I don't really see the work being all that difficult. Must my opinion though. If you aren't mechanically iclined, maybe you can find a shop that won't @ss rape you.

I myself don't use kits and don't trust kits..

you can higher quality products from other dealers, and put together a far better system.

Yea I agree about doin all the work myself, I actually would like to. It would be me and my Dad doing it. ? - What kind of welding has to be done?? ANd i dont have a shop all i have is a jacck, and maybe some other things to get my truck off the ground. But as I mentioned before from my first post... Is what I posted what I need?? And can anyone get that stuff cheaper? Cuiz i dont wanna go with anything less if airride is number 1. Plus i wanna see a guys truck with bags and this setup before i buy one. If any of u live in N. cali, let me know, i wanna see ur chevy with bags.

you'll need at least 4 jack stands, good tools, and a good welder to weld on the notch.


If you want to go seperate, it shouldn't be more than 1700


Mine was $1900 exactly for:

Pete & Jakes 4-Link Black
4 #2600 firestone bags
4 ARO 2way vavles so I can fbss and pancake
5 switch box
2 9gallon tanks
york driveline compressor
all the fittings and line
apc speed-glo air gauges
dual gauge pod

Im probably forgetting some stuff I was a big system lol

jody got it through aim, luckily we haven't ever had a problem getting anything from them.

the yorks are 200 some

If you're looking for a shop to do it for you, and are willing to drive a little ways, I'm certain there are a few places in the Modesto area, and I know theres at least 5-10 shops in Fresno/Clovis that bag.

Might want to try looking around that part of the valley a bit.
