Re: Air bags for stock height trucks

$300 is too much for 2 bags plus fitting and 1/4" air line.
Rough cost should be less than that

bags ~ $70 ea = $140
fittings $50
Schrader valves = $10
1/4" air line= $10
total= $210

Don't buy from these guys. Read some reviews about their products and service.

If you don't want to lower your truck with bags you will need to build some brackets that raise the bag.

Re: Air bags for stock height trucks

I used a 2" cup on the underside of my bag on the trailing arm to keep my axle from hitting the frame. I didn't want to notch the frame and it worked very well.

<edit> That's not a bad looking kit, but like others said, I wouldn't shop there. You can use the cups made by ***************** on the rear like I did for a lot less money.
