Complete My Parts List Please

I'm new to the bag world. I need some of ya'lls help in finishing up my parts list. I have searched and searched, but can't seem to find all of the little parts and pieces I'll need. Pictured below is what I have so far (all from *****************) I am also going to be purchasing my switchbox from eBay (7 switch EAI box.)

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You'll need all of the fittings for the air lines, but you may be able to get those locally. Also, not sure how your planning on mounting the rear setup, but that's not on the list. A watertrap wouldn't hurt, I never run one, but next setup I most likely will. Also a pressure switch will be needed, and of course a tank. I know i'm probably missing somethings, but that should get a start.

As far as the rear setup goes, I was just going to replace the coil with the bag. No notch, no hacking. I don't wanna lay frame by any means, but wheni get my 18/20" combo, I wanna be able to dump it when the truck is sitting.

Re: Complete My Parts List Please

you need a tank.
and i would not use the eai box. they are crappy at best.
and i would get regular valves, and buy those from waylayd cause they are cheaper.

Very cool, be sure to C notch it, I ran the same all through highschool w/ bags replacing the coils. Definitely just put a C in so you have a little bit of travel while driving.

Why would I get regular valves instead of the ones I listed? What would be the pros and cons of running what's in my shopping cart?

Re: Complete My Parts List Please

The EAI box and the valves you have listed are fine. I would double up on the compressor and go with two 3 gallon tanks.

Re: Complete My Parts List Please

i have the eai box from suicide doors, the 5 switch one. havent installed it yet but i trust what sd sells...get a 5 gallon tank, get the sqaure d pressure switch since its adjustable and only like 5 bucks more than the non adjustable ones, and of course fittings. you may want check valves down the road also to prevent air leaking back into the tank (you would need 4 of those), and a water/oil trap. oh, and i would notch it if i were you, get a few more inches at dump plus it will ride better with one. i think thats it...

The eai boxes are crap. The 3 i've had had sticky switches within a month. They are cheap for a reason
Everyone with avs boxes still use them with no problems and they have a warranty in case anything should come up.

And why would he get a pressure switch that would void his warranty? Viair includes the correct pressure switch and relay with their compressors.


The manifold valves are fine, but i would save money and buy the regular valves. price is the only factor there. Both are quality parts. If spending the money though, i would just step up to the accuair manifold

i did not know this since i dont have or have bought a viair compressor from suicide doors. soo, now knowing this i would just go with the switch they recommend. if i had known that, clearly i would not have suggested it
