Air ride HELP!!!

Hello everyone,

So I have a 1971 suburban and I want the frame on the ground. I do not want to buy an air ride kit for the fact that it cost a lot of money. So I'm asking all of you guys and gals to help me build it on a budget. I have all of the tools to build it I just don't know the best places to buy the items of all of the little items I need. Does anyone have a list of all items needed for it. Please help.

if you don't have the budget to do it right then don't do it. you'll regret it later.

also, air ride alone won't get "the frame on the ground"

Just because I don't want to spend full price on a kit doesn't mean I'm not doing it right. There are a lot of people in this forum that have done air ride so I'm looking for those people that know the right parts for the right price without just buying a kit. I'm not sure why you felt the need to reply to my post because nothing you said was helpful.

been in the air ride game for close to 15 years & wasn't tying to be a smart ass, simply telling it like it is based on my experiences.

good luck.

Ok now we are talking. So I installed the stage 3 c notch. I have done a lot of reading and talking to friends that have dropped the ride to the frame and I thing I can piece it together and price match with great parts for cheaper. I just need help with parts people like from is company and parts not good from this guy.
