you get what you pay for.

Say no to:
block valves
two links
small no name compressors

say yes to:
4links, custom made to your app.
SMC, "E" air valves, Parker
water traps
over kill compressors (oasis,york, thomas 4101)
locating all your stuff out of site.

Air and nitrogen are great, 8 gal tanks are good, more ports the better, that way you can run a line to each corner in stead of "T"ing off. Viair comps are great, ive burned a few up, the thomas 4101($399 for FBI) is what i have now and i run it way past 200psi and i work the **** out of it and it 100% rebuildable.

thanx for the response and sorry if the questions sound stupid, im just startin to learn about this stuff, how are thomas compared to a york belt driven compressor, will they last about the same and are there any ups and downs of either one?

[Zachs92]

the EDC spits alot of oil but hands down i would go with an EDC over my thomas 4101, i could have built EDC setip for how much the thomas was...

no question is a dumb question, you cant learn with out opening your mouth...

i heard that kp's 4 links are weak, is that true?
also does the cantilever come with those shocks pictured with it?

also i have a friend that has his ranger bagged with a tri link and suggested i get a tri link for my 98 gmc ext cab. i always thought full sizes needed a parallel link and the mini's used the tri link. am i wrong?

oh yea are suicidedoors's THICK parallel links compatible with kp's cantilever?

[Zachs92]

I guess if you want a bolt on kit than there ok...

On a full size run a 4link, place all your bars in side the framerail, you will have to relocate the gas tank to the bed if you do this, but you have to do that anyways if your going to drag becasue those tanks hang down and throw good sparks.

If you locate all your link bars in side your framerail your wheel size is endless, you can narrow the rearend and run wide ass wheels and tires with the correct offset.

i dont really want huge rims, that will look nice but right now im going for 20's
where can i find an affordable, dependable front kit? and which airmanagement kit should i buy from suicide doors? the 1/2 or 3/8? i want it to be fast

[icemike557]

just wondering what people think about ekstensives 2 link setup, they are going to be doing my bags in 2 months and just wanted some input

[Zachs92]

1/2 line if you want fast...

the 2link from them is ok, im just not a fan of 2links.

How hard would it be to bag an 06 single cab on 22s? Currently stock suspension. Should I just get 20s instead? New to the bagging world.

[Paulzy22]

to nafunu bag that **** on 22's, and 2 links SUCK A SS

[jus2fknlow]

Whats Up Guys...new To This Site. Some Quick Questions About Bagging.. I Have A 06 Silverado And Want To Bag It. I Know Itll Void Out My Warrenty And All The Other Greatness But Will Void Out My Warrenty On My Engine And Powertrain Or Just The Suspension Part End Of It. I Bought A Full Bag Set Up Last Night..let Me Know What You Think

I have read through much of this thread and thought i would ask a couple of questions that i didnt thik got answered or i didnt understand the answer.

i have a 99 nbs ecsb, I am planning on running 22" wheels all around and would like to lay frame. Can I use the kp components 6 link and lay frame with 22" wheels? How much of a notch would I need to acomplish this? Will the transmission crossmember and gastank crossmember need to be changed to lay frame?
Up front it seems there a million different ways to do the front suspension. With the goal being to lay frame and still be drivable, I am confused on the combination of control arms and spindles. If I use the cool ride kit what parts do I need to change to set the frame on the ground? Can this be accomplished with teh stock spindles and contorl arms? Also about the issue of the tierods hitting, is this problem solved when you change control arms? If this has been addressed before i apologize for having a thick skull

[GakiAkuma]

thorebeck brothers for the win!

And one other thing..100% duty cycle comps are crap.

[Nemesis8]

how many relays doyou need tp bag your truck?

[layedout1ton]

Ive had my truck done 3 times now. My biggest mistake was trying to save money the first time. Now that ive had it completly redone by a very reputable person i have no problems driving it on a regular basis. Im using a custom 4 link, with panhard, suicide doors monster notch in the rear, heavy duty air lift bags in the rear, all 1/2in line, slambags up front, belltech front spindles, dual compressors into a single 10 gallon air tank. Rides great, i still use it to tow, and it lays out.

[Nemesis8]
